Moviejournal: Die hard 4.0
Bruce Willis! (willis, willis, willis.....)
the name alone resonates with so much hardcore objects in popular culture and symbolizes hardcore itself. the latest incarnation of the bald cop with a hard ass attitude is nothing to be sneered at. this cyber punk version of die hard actually uses the tried, test, old and dated story line of kid-rescuing that has seen in so many copy cat films. the unyielding principle of such genre is 1) the antangonist will be wounded, but always not fatally 2) the kid is quick witted and always escape unharmed. 3) the government usually is either the conspirator or brews the conspirator in the past. and 4) happy ending!
Maggie Q makes a shit supporting role in this film as the quiet kungfu type ass kicking chic. there rarely is a time i wish a chinese actor in a hollywood film to die quicker, but this is one. the previous one is probably Bai Ling in Red Corner.
