DIE HARD 4.0 - LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD (2007)
Featuring: Bruce Willis; Justin Long; Timothy Olyphant
Director: Len Wiseman
One of the most spectacular aerial stunts ever captured on on film appears in this movie. (See picture below.) What makes this scene, and for that matter most of the other stunt scenes, even more remarkable is that there is virtually no computer generated (CG) special effects involved. These days this is almost unheard of. Even back in 2006, when this movie was made, the general trend for the industry was more towards CG special effects.
When a glitch shows up on the IT system at FBI Headquarters in Washington DC, it is decided to round-up all known computer hackers country wide in an effort to establish who is responsible. In New York, John McClane (Bruce Willis) receives orders to apprehend and deliver Matt Farrell (Justin Long) to the Capitol. But even before they can leave Matt's apartment, the bullets start to fly...
Although this movie takes place years since the first two sequels were released, it is generally regarded as the first true sequel to the original of 1988. And I must admit, this one is in many aspects more on par with the original. Therefor, well worth watching (again).
And it is also for that reason that I can again rate this forth Die Hard film 4 out of 5 stars.
