Die Hard, two words that give you a dangerously high adrenaline rush thanks to Bruce Willis and his cult action series Die Hard . Year 2007, and Detective John McLane is back after a gap of 12 years with Die Hard 4.0(called Live Free or Die Hard in the US and Australia and 4.0, not 4, because it deals with cyber terrorism).

As expected with any Die Hard flick, this one too has amazing action and at times you feel like shouting “Die Hard” at the top of your lungs or just appluading the awe-inspiring moves of Detective McLane. A 20th Century Fox Production, the movie begins with the lights going off on the Logo and a jarring sound indicating the storyline of the film. The film deals with cyber-terrorism and how a former FBI agent(Thomas Gabriel) wrecks havoc on America when his suggestions depicting an attack prone american cyber world are disregarded by the FBI top brass. He then goes onto hack into the all-digital american way of life disrupting traffic signals, highways, the telecommunications system, the stock market and the Power of the whole city(a concept known as Fire Sale, using hacking algorithms from the best hackers across the world, killing each one when they aren’t useful anymore). Detective John McLane is asked to get one such hacker(Matt Farrell) who too needs to be killed by Gabriel and his henchmen for his intensive cyber knowledge. The Rest of the Movie deals with how John and Matt try and figure out the man behind the chaos that threatens to shutdown america using a combination of mclane’s brawn and police skills and matt’s cyber wizardry.

The film is peppered with witty one liners, that keeps you entertained at all times even when there isn’t any action around. Some of the memorable action sequences include mclane smashing a car into a helicopter when he runs out of bullets and bringing down a F-35 Lightning II Jet using a truck. The Die Hard series raises a debate about “Who is the Best Ever Action Movie Actor”. Bruce Willis is certainly one of the best contenders for the same. He’s not all brawn and no emotion like Arnold Schwarzenegger(Terminator), Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone(Rocky). Neither is he a cute action boy hero like Tom Cruise(Misson Impossible) and Keanu Reeves(Matrix). Willis is an amazing actor who is able to pull off most types of roles, most of his action sequences are quite realistic and there is nothing superhuman about them. He also has an amazing comic timing which most other action heroes lack.

So if you’re looking for some amazing entertainment this weekend go and catch Die Hard 4.0, non stop fun from start to finish. And for all Die Hard Fans and action lovers this one is worth the second trip to the cinema screens.
