Review of Live Free or Die Hard

If you want to see flaws and weaknesses in the film's executions, you will find them. There are plenty. But other things, the film makes right. It expands the scale of the plot'smovie from a whole city in Die Hard with a vengeance to the whole country this time. It introduces the virtual world and hacking to the franchise, which could have gone on so many levels completely wrong. It manages to make both worlds cohabitate without it being completely ridiculous and that's already a huge achievement in my opinion. Other movies like Blackhat were not so lucky. The movie is well structured, well paced and you can see that the script writers tried their best to write the most entertaining story possible, despite the flaws once again. The character of McClane is respected and his involvement in the events of the film are somewhat believable. The villain is really weak compared to the Gruber brothers, though. This is a guilty pleasure on my part.
