-Bruce
Willis
After
a
twelve-year
hiatus,
Bruce
Willis
is
back
as
New
York
City
detective
John
McClane,
who
still
plays
by
his
own
set
of
rules.
Following
DIE
HARD
(1988),
DIE
HARDER
(1990),
and
DIE
HARD
WITH
A
VENGEANCE
(1995),
the
fourth
installment
in
the
popular
action
series
stars
DEADWOOD's
Timothy
Olyphant
as
Thomas
Gabriel,
an
evil
mastermind
who
is
determined
to
bring
down
the
entire
infrastructure
of
the
United
States
on
Independence
Day,
sending
the
country
into
anarchy
and
chaos.
Joining
him
on
his
mission
of
destruction
is
the
elegant
Mai,
played
by
Maggie
Q
from
MISSION:
IMPOSSIBLE
III.
McClane
becomes
involved
when
he
gets
caught
in
the
crossfire
while
transporting
prisoner
Matt
Farrell
(Justin
Long,
most
well
known
as
the
mac
in a
series
of
computer
commercials),
a
hacker
extraordinaire
who
is
the
perfect
complement
to
the
old-school
McClane,
who
eschews
cell
phones,
computers,
and
doing
anything
the
easy
way.
But
when
Gabriel
kidnaps
McClane's
daughter,
Lucy
(Mary
Elizabeth
Winstead,
from
the
DEATH
PROOF
section
of
GRINDHOUSE),
it
gets
personal.
Full
of
the
sarcastic
humor,
exciting
action
sequences
--
including
flying
cars
--
and
fun
characters
that
have
defined
the
series,
LIVE
FREE
OR
DIE
HARDER
is
an
excellent
addition,
directed
by
Len
Wiseman
(UNDERWORLD
and
UNDERWORLD:
EVOLUTION).
The
plot
was
based
on a
magazine
article,
"A
Farewell
to
Arms,"
written
by
John
Carlin,
that
appeared
in a
1997
issue
of
WIRED
magazine.
The
movie
also
features
Kevin
Smith
as a
computer
geek
--
er,
expert
--
known
as
Warlock,
who
still
lives
in
his
mother's
basement.
Yippee-ki-yay
indeed.
