Action "Lives free" in latest Die Hard installment
In a summer full of blockbuster movie franchises, one of the movies that held its own at the box office was Live Free or Die Hard, the fourth installment in the Die Hard saga.
The movie begins with the protagonist, policeman John McClain, (Bruce Willis) ruining his daughter Lucy’s (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) date. This shows the audience the fractured relationship between McClain and his daughter.
McClain is sent on a routine mission to escort computer hacker Matthew Farrell, (Justin Long) from New York to Washington D.C. When McClain shows up at Farrell’s door, he finds himself in a familiar situation as he is being fired at by terrorists.
McClain and Farrell escape after McClain kills a few terrorists and begin heading towards the nation’s capitol where sinister events are about to occur.
Computer mastermind and villain Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) and his team of hackers and mercenaries have an evil plan to take over to cause chaos nationwide using computers, with the master plan of bleeding money from the social security fund into their accounts. They also kidnap Lucy. This leaves only McClain and Farrell to stop the Gabriel’s evil plan and rescue Lucy.
The action sequences are amazing in Live Free or Die Hard. McClain crashes a car into a helicopter in an almost surreal action moment. The fight scene between McClain and Mai Linh (Maggie Q) is amazing and captivating. There are also more exciting car chase scenes in this movie.
The movie Live Free Or Die Hard is an excellent addition to the Die Hard. It compliments the other three movies and Bruce Willis does a superb job whenever he plays John McClain. This movie shows the audience that one person can make a difference. It is a n action thrill ride and receives an A.
