Another Day, Another Die Hard! Not a Patch On The First One!


Available to buy as print, and other stuff, at: 

If there's one thing Hollywood loves more than a sequel...it's a whole bunch of sequels! While the merits of the first "Die Hard" are beyond question, the sequels have proven Hollywoods law of diminishing returns. 
I don't begrudge Bruce a pension plan but every time he puts on that vest we go "Maybe this time the magic is coming back?'...and it doesn't!
There's a line in the fourth one where he and Justin Long talk about what makes him "that guy", which is great, and totally on the money; but nothing has matched the savvy savagery and whip smart one liners of the first, wondrous outing.
As number five looms we wonder again, "Maybe this time?"...hhhmmm, 12A, director of "Max Payne" and Willis Jr in tow...what do you think?

Excelsior Out!
