Die Hard 4.0: John Mcclane does it again

I am a die hard fan of Die Hard. I like to watch action films when I want don't want to use much of my brains and just enjoy the fast pace action. Die Hard 4.0 fits to that criteria. It's fun, it's fast pace, it's full of explosions and bullets and above all it's full of John Mcclane. Bruce Willis has proved that he might be getting old but he can still wear John Mcclane's shoes.

This time John Mcclane is not saving a building or a city, he is there to save a country and obviously there has to be his family involved in the middle of all this. This time it's his daughter, who is in the middle off all this.

A group of hackers have started taking control of USA's services and they are creating chaos in the country. John has been given the job to pick a hacker Farrel and deliver him to FBI. As soon as John reaches to Farrel's place, some people try to kill him. Now John along with Farrel tries to stop the bad guys.

Bruce Willis is aging and he knows it. His role has been written keeping his age in mind. Now he feels the pain and gets kicked by a girl. He is old school "a Timex watch in a digital world", but he survives the computer warfare. Other actors have also done fair job. Maggie Q is the sexiest hacker I have ever seen, she looks great throughout the movie. I wish there was more of her in the movie. Actions scenes have been shot brilliantly, but they are overdone sometimes like the f-18 scene.

Let me remind you all once again that it's a die hard movie and you are not allowed to use your brains during the movie, if you want to enjoy it. If you want to enjoy the movie, don't ask questions. Just use your eyes to see the fast pace action and use your ears to listen to the classic jokes of Mcclane. I am sure If you use only these two senses of yours, you will definitely enjoy the movie. I would give it 8 out of 10.

definitely a 8/10 movie. Btw the plan was a F-35 (not F-18)
