A Good Day To Die Hard - A Review

2 Stars - Meh

So John McClane is back, along with his son, to fight some Russians. In theory it should be marvellous eighties style action, but what it ends up being is a shaky cam heavy, predictably plotted and uninteresting to watch pile of mediocrity.

The shaky cam is especially annoying, not as much in the action scenes which have occasional moments of impressive stunts, but in the dialogues scenes where the Russian characters speak, the subtitles shake with it, which is just irritating to watch.

Having only previously seen the original Die Hard film, I can say that this doesn't feel like a Die Hard film, it's too much huge set pieces and attempts to over complicate the plot. The original was simple, straightforward and contained within a small space.

Although this may be the best tagline ever

In short, not really worth it, unless you are a particularly die hard die hard fan...
