Live Free or Die Hard
We went to see Live Free or Die Hard today. It’s good! I can’t go and call it one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen, or anything like that, but this was a true summer block buster. It was an all out action film in the best of ways. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a “real” action film. Mostly Hollywood tries to put out an action film with some sort of twist, but this is out and out true to the genre. One liners, witty quips, car chases, explosions, impossible situations, a hero character than is tougher than nails and rough around the edges, no love story, no strange mystery, no attempted plot twist, no super powers, no half-hearted special effects, and nothing wrong. Seriously, it was great. I’ll say it’s the best action film I’ve seen this year, in the last year, maybe even in the last 5 years. Go see it if you haven’t. I don’t want to spoil it.
