A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD (Theatrical Release USA 2012)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

A Good Day to Die Hard—5^th Die Hard movie since 1988—does not have the same hardness that the earlier Die Hard movies had.  It does not flow as well despite the coupling of Bruce Willis with a younger actor to keep the action in place. This movie seems to have vacuumed all the crumbs of the previous Die Hard movies to reassemble into a likeness of previous movies but an audience may feel they have been served the last of the cake.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. it works to some extent as an action/thriller movie and is the final film in this series. Bruce Willis fans will find the movie satisfying.
