Storyline
When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI's Cyber Crime Division;
the Director decides to round up all the hackers who could have done
this. When he's told that because it's the 4th of July most of their
agents are not around so they might have trouble getting people to get
the hackers. So he instructs them to get local PD'S to take care of it.
And one of the cops they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing
a hacker named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone
starts shooting at them. McClane manages to get them out but they're
still being pursued. And it's just when McClane arrives in Washington
that the whole system breaks down and chaos ensues.
"Live Free or Die Hard (2007)" Movie Reviews
Just went to the world premiere of Die Hard 4.0, and I was positively surprised. It delivers action in abundance, and the movie has a great visceral feel to it thanks to great stunt work, and the fact that Willis really steps up in the fight scenes. The movie keeps up its pace throughout, and the script works quite well, though the tech-talk gets a little heavy at times. I was particularly worried about Wiseman directing, since both underworld movies were a complete mess in my opinion, but he really keeps it tight and disciplined this time around. Is Die Hard 4.0 the second or third best of the series? I don't know, but it is certainly a worthy successor, and all the other blockbusters should look this way to see how its done efficiently, crisp and above all entertaining.
