A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD ("A HARD WAY TO DIE")

Cast: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney

Director: John Moore

After an electric Die Hard 4.0, John McClane is in the wrong place at the wrong time yet again. This time in Russia.

Ten minutes or so into the film you have an amazing chase sequence that will blow you away, and you think you are in for a treat. But you realise it was just wishful thinking soon afterwards.

McClane comes to Russia in search of his son Jack (Jai Courtney) who is an undercover CIA agent trying to get a political prisoner out of Russia. And as expected trouble follows.

The script and screenplay are silly and boring. To give a few instances,  Yuri(the political prisoner) gets shot in his arm around the interval, yet is comfortable running around, shooting and fighting.After the first few scenes the Russian military and police are nowhere to be seen when all hell breaks loose(supposedly).The supposed twist in the climax makes you yawn. You just sit there expecting expecting and expecting,...expecting some thrill but alas!..

Bruce Willis does a cool job as expected, Courtney is ok. But the only good things about the film are the wonderful cinematography, nice graphics and the stunning action sequences in the beginning and the end.

I am giving a 2.5/5 for A Good day to Die Hard. Watch the first 20 minutes go out for a stroll in the nearby park and come back for the final 20 minutes.
