A Good Day To Die Hard review

First of all, we all know the Die Hard movies are absolutely awesome action packed adventures where John McClane (Bruce Willis) the cop goes crazy and basically beats up all the bad guys and comes out victorious.

This, to be fair, is a new taste of what Die Hard movies (maybe of the future) will end up becoming. An impressive story line with legendary dialogues, direction...not that good or realistic..but the acting by Bruce Willis, his son in the film played by Jai Courtney and Sebastian Koch was superb!

However, obviously there were some outrageous assumptions of what heroes in movies can do...like ...SPOILER ALERT! Jumping out of a crashing helicopter/aircraft and surviving due to the "lucky" swimming pool placed conveniently, to save their lives. But you must remember, it is a Die Hard movie so reality might be bent a little to make a good film.

This one looked very dark, compared to the others, mainly due to the fact it was shot at nighttime for a lot of it.
There were twists in the film...Actual unexpected surprises, so I would recommend you watch it.

All in all, It's a typical action thriller with a deeper message of the relationship between a father and his son, which actually completes the film very well. I did not expect to like this film, so I think I might be being very generous to the review, however that does not mean my rating would be biased towards that. This was no where near as good as the last one "Die Hard 4.0", but if you like Bruce Willis or even if you want a good film to watch at home, this would be a good choice for Father's Day on Sunday!


I give it a 6.5/10 "6.5 out of 10"
Rating: Good, worth a watch especially with your dad!
