From Chernobyl with love




“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…
