Review:
The first time I went to see this movie I unfortunately fell asleep in the first few minutes, too exhausted to watch anymore. I woke up at the end of the movie, having missed roughly an hour and a half of the action packed spectacle that the Die Hard series is known for.
I just recently watched this and found out it would have been better had I not watched the lastest Die Hard installment. It's an all action film with a ten minute story and a plot that is filled more with bullets than an actual plot. I am a fan of the series, and was extremely disappointed with this.
So let's get into what made this bad.
The lack of story is what bothered me. I mean, it had a basic story that established why everything was happening but that was it with the exception of three minutes later on. This is by far the one Die Hard with the least amount of story. There are more bullets per minute than story per minute. Not only that but the story is so typical it fits ANY movie in the action/spy genre. ANY. It's easy to imagine Steven Seagal doing this same film, or Jean Claude Van Damme, or Arnold Schwarzennegger except it would in fact be better with any of those actors.
That is not the only problem, since the director seemed more content making the one family bonding subplot one that is only five minutes of the film, and as such it's resolved too fast.
The action sequences are creatively entertaining and the special effects are dynamically explosive, but that isn't all that makes a Die Hard movie a Die Hard movie. It still needs a story. Every Die Hard film before that had a story that fit the McClane family's troubled connection into the story. A Good Day To Die Hard barely managed to do this, and tried to fix the barely existent story by filling it with bullets and explosions. That's not how you fix the barely existent storyline.
The actors don't help at all. With a barely coherent script that has less time than the bullets and explosions, they actually make the film flounder even more by barely acting and only having two emotions throughout the whole film (technically three for a few of them) that you can barely detect. Even Bruce Willis barely does anything except prove how old John McClane really is.
Overall not a very good action film. If anything, watch it only if you're watching one of The Expendables films first.
