When we thought that McClane, Bruce Willis, and the whole "Die Hard" line has been buried, the industry resurrects them again. It was a thrill to see that "Die Hard" was "coming to town," again. Thus, every fan would want to go and see what is the story, and visit with the rough copper, John McClane.
The film is not "Die Hard 4," it is "Die Hard 4.0," which says more than just a chronological order of the film sequence. The title, of course, suggests a more cyber relationship this action production is all about. The film, as the title conveys, is another computer program version. Furthermore, reveals, and connects, to the core of events the plot revolves over.
"Die Hard 4.0" is a true action film that offers more events, scenes, and thrilling fights throughout the screening. McClane returns, with strength, to life, and as always, he fights to defend his, life, country, and his family. The enemy here is, also, a terrorist who employs foreigners to do the dirty work for him. In addition, the makers of the film made it more difficult for the super protagonist as they forced him to compete with the government's "good guys." That helped with the characters' struggle, and somewhat with plot construction.
The plot of this film is not one that is "great," in fact it lacks more sense and intelligence. Some things would never, and could never happen, in the real life, but this is an action film that does not require, nor offers, a strong deep plot. Therefore, a viewer can go there for the action. Furthermore, the writers did a well job with the humor. There are jokes and funny scenes in this little program that made it "lighthearted." The direction was not as bad as other action films I have seen. In fact, the director did a decent job here. The lighting work was not bad either, but some scenes could have used a little bit extra sunshine. The editing, on the other hand, was probably the worst. Some scenes were not patched correctly. If the viewer payed attention, some characters would be out of place, not too far off, though; yet, it would be disturbing to the trained eye.
Besides the action and the humor, there is not much to say about "Die Hard 4.0." The film is primarily action, and it does not, nor tries to,reach for intelligence. However, some action scenes are cool, and seem smart. I am not found of the plot, I even thought it was dull. The six stars are only for the action and humor.
