having never really been on the 'die hard' band wagon, i came into this one having actually only ever seen the third one. i know, i know, its a travesty. so, not having much connection to the franchise or the character, i was able to watch this with fresh eyes. turns out its not too bad!the story centers around a disgruntled former government employee who warned of the possibility that hackers could get into the government files and stuff. he was not listened to, so he decided to go bad and do it himself to show them the weaknesses. well, john mcclane is not too fond of that idea, and the movie goes from there. as the story unfolds, it becomes obvious that bruce willis isnt john mcclane, but rather he's superman because he is apparently invincible... i went and saw this in the theater with my dad (who is a big die hard fan) and enjoyed it a bit. seeing it again, this time it was the 'unrated' dvd, its obvious that this movie series needs to be rated 'R' because it benefited so much from the more fittingly hard language. hearing him say his famous tag line is critical for the series! granted, its till ridiculous and totally unrealistic, but somehow the language makes it all better.
