Live Free or Die Hard brings more explosions and coolers death than ever before seen in the series. In what other movie could you say you’ve seen a man knocked out of a helicopter by the spray from a car running over a fire hydrant, a helicopter being demolished by a jumping car, with a hero who’s willing to shoot through himself to kill the bad guy?
Though the plot has its share of implausibilities, the script is tight, and hey, it’s an action movie, give it a break. Bruce Willis and Justin Long have great screen chemistry together in the film too. The kidnapping in act 3 made the film feel a bit too formulaic, but to be fair. Cute ending too, and Kevin Smith has a cool little role in the film. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Maggie Q are hot. Timothy Olyphant is Timothy Olyphant. ‘Nuff said.
