Movie Review - Live Free or Die Hard


Ok, occasionally a movie comes along that is suited toward a specif genre of movie goers. This movie is definitely for the action lover.
The plot is good, the story is fast and the characters are well casted. But it's the action that keeps this moving on the edge of your seat.
From the very beginning, the hard action never stops, there is not a boring part to this movie.
Sometimes however, to make the story work, the scenes contradict. One moment the entire city is in gridlock and the next Bruce is driving 100 miles an hour through it. Sometimes cell phones are out sometimes not. It's purely a convenience issue to keep the movie going, but I thought they were very noticeable.
Although the plot is good about the 'firesale' some of the story was a bit far fetched, like the mainframes location and the criminal's tools. It just isn't possible to download Terabytes worth of data through a USB port.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I give it a 9.25 out of 10.
