Overview
John McClane is back and badder than ever, and this time he's working for Homeland Security. He calls on the services of a young hacker in his bid to stop a ring of Internet terrorists intent on taking control of America's computer infrastructure.
What was this, the 8th or 9th installment of this series? I give them credit as they seemed to have slowly brought the franchise back to since the dismal second and third movies. Who saw that coming? Then again, that isn’t any more surprising than the fact that Bruce Willis became an action star in the first place. I adored ‘Moonlighting’, but geez…. I would have sooner thought that Booger would be a big-time Hollywood hunk than Willis. Anyway, the movie was about what you would expect – lots of chases, cliches and shooting. I thought it was well done compared to some of the train wrecks that have been in the theaters in the last few years. It wasn’t in the same category as the original but it was a worthwhile couple of hours. Is it just me or does a bald Bruce Willis look like a young Yoda?
