Live Free Or Die Hard / Die Hard 4.0 / USA / 2007
This really has been a disappointing summer. Of all the plots they could have chosen, of all the villains, of all the sidekicks… this? Computer hacking, a sneering Timothy Olyphant and some wisecracking dweeb who hates Creedence? It feels an awful lot like Bruce’s very recent 16 Blocks on a higher budget, but lacking the likeability factor of Mos Def. In fact, there are no characters to root for here except Maclane, and even he’s not allowed to swear properly. A few decent explosions and a couple of enjoyably apocalyptic mass panic scenes do not a tentpole blockbuster make.
