“A Good Day to Die Hard” isn't as good (if that's the
right term for it) as the earlier Die Hard films, and contains far fewer jokes.
The plot is darker and more convoluted, and after a while it's not clear
anymore who the good guys are. If there is any message at all, it is don't
trust Russians. Any Russians. Not even the ones claiming to be on “our” side.
The family business between Bruce Willis' character and his “son” felt forced
in the extreme. But sure, if you like the special effects of this franchise,
don't worry, there are a number of absurdly unrealistic car chases, and two or
three helicopter attacks, naturally directed at John McClain & Son. If the
Clinton Crime Family really sold our uranium to Vlad the Mad is, alas, not
revealed in this two-and-half-a-star production…
