Yes, stuff blew up, gun fights abounded, and cars crashed. That is about all the awesomeness that was in this movie. The plot just, well, sucked. I watched this movie with my boyfriend, Joe, and I knew it was bad when we both started laughing at a the start of a major car chase. We weren't laughing because Bruce Willis said something funny...
I love the Die Hard series and was hoping for a bit more 'story'. The action was what I expected, but the plot... really?!?! I know most action movies have unbelievable stuff in it, but I think this movie took unbelievablility a bit too far. My suspension of disbelief just couldn't be suspended that much.
Despite the lame script, Bruce Willis was fantastic. He's getting older, but can still pull it off. I admit, I am a fan of the B.W.
Anyway, I would only recommend this movie if you were really bored and felt like watching Russia being destroyed. Other than that, skip it.
Favorite Line: "I'm not that smart. I'm on vacation."
