Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Die Hard 5: A Good Day To Die

Genre: Action Crime Thriller Contains strong language,brief nudity & some violent vehicle crashes

cert: bbfc gave this a 12a, i would say a 15 cert

Story: John McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces, Iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane, for the first time, finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack - unaware that Jack is really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover that their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes

Likes : Let be honest here this was ok but not the best die hard film ive seen, it was enjoyable to watch & funny with the sarcasm being thrown left right & centre that real dose make you laugh, acting was pretty much soild but it lacked curtain things that a normal die hard film has.Bruce Willis returns as John McClane a hard new york cop that had a rough live with terrorist in a build, to terrorist at an air port to gold thief's ,to a computer hacker theif to this now, the relationship with his son was on the rocks but you start to see a bond between them as thing ht the fan.Jai Courtney play the son of john maclain Jack McClane a cia undercover operative trying to bring in a former nuclear expert when he's father steps in a ruins the the pick up point then thing just get out of hand,he real hates he father at first but seem to get that bond again as father & son.Sebastian Koch plays Komarov the russian nuclear expert that was supossed to be pick up for some files but there is something else going on.The beautiful Mary Elizabeth Winstead (cameo) returns as john mcclian daughter she oonly in this film for two parts, The really beautiful Yuliya Snigir play the daughter of Komarov, who love her father & seem to have a ruthless side of her,Radivoje Bukvic plays the merc hired to bring Komarov to the files & kill him as an order by a very ruthless man Chagarin played by Sergei Kolesnikov who role was in a government position that seem to own everything with money & fear.Cole Hauser (cameo) plays the other cia operative in the safe house.There one thing to say that this film wasn't lack of action or banter but it just was an average bruce willis film.so i would go watch it expecting it to be a brilliant film.

Dislike: There are a few thing wrong with this film,one the action was boring this has got to be the most tamest die hard film ive ever watch,im a Bruce Willis fan but this wasn't a brilliant film by far tame is putting this film lightly there was hardly any fighting apart from some action scene that seem kind of unreal at times,but this wasn't Bruce Willis best die hard film it felt rushed,it could of been better i feel the fact that this film was tame is what let this film down.

Overall : Not the best die hard film but watchable,just don't expect something brilliant & your enjoy watching this,if you go watch it expecting more your be disappointed because its very tame.

Rating: 4.2 out of 5 for entertainment/ 6.1 out of 10 for theme & action.
