Well, Yippee Ki-Yay Mother ________ ! Without further adieu I will begin with my personal Die Hard disclaimer. If you know me well, you know what I’m about to say. The very first movie I went to see by myself in a theater was the very first Die Hard. Did I pick a great one to start or what? Needless to say I was blown away. I was literally on the edge of my seat for the majority of the picture. Therefore, I will have to confess that when it comes to the Die Hard series, I’m totally biased and it’s as simple as that. John McClane is one of my favorite superheroes, and please forgive my French, but he has balls of steel. I will never get enough of watching John McClane in action and in installment number 5 he is up to the same ol’ antics but this time with the most qualified sidekick he could possibly want, his son. The two of them together wreak havoc in Russia, McClane style. It turns out to be a pretty good father- son combo. As you’d expect from a Die Hard feature, we get chaos and mayhem, guns and explosions, and all around destruction. There are a few good guys and a lot of bad guys, revenge seeking, double crossing, cover ups, corruption, potentially severe consequences, twists and all around ill will. If you are going to take a breath while watching the movie, make it quick. Suffice it to say that action has always been the Die Hard’s strongest aspect and this latest one keeps up with the rest. I would go so far as to say that the series has been one of the front runners in establishing the bar for which other action films are measured. Even for today’s action desensitized audience (we’ve seen it all by now, haven’t we?), there were some scenes in this film that left me in awe and disbelief. McClane is at it again!
