The plot is tough

A few days ago, I went to the cinema with my friends. I have always had a good psychological expectation for Die Hard 5. After watching it, I always felt that this movie can only be used in two words. I'm not a professional film critic, I'm just an ordinary person. Maybe a lot of things are not seen, just briefly talk about my own feelings. Since it was over at the beginning, I missed the first ten minutes. It started with the dancing man bombing the court. Throughout the whole movie, until the end, it seems that there are only police cars, and very few, no police. Is it because there are not enough police in Russia, or is it because the police think it's a big deal and don't bother to call the police. On the other hand, if the American blockbuster took place in the United States in the past, there will be many police officers comparable to F1 drivers in the slightest crime incident, and the number is staggering. Does this tell us that the Slavic people live in a society without law and order? Is the US emperor a beautiful excess? When the dancing man shot the protagonist father and son with a gunship, until they fled, only a police car appeared (can't remember, not many anyway). The second plot design, since I didn't watch it at first, I have been doubting whether the boss of the dancing man is a good guy or a bad guy, but looking at the whole plot, neither of them are good birds. The plot I predicted at the beginning was that Yuri was framed, the U.S. government sent people to rescue for world peace (there is no doubt about this theme), Yuri’s daughter is an internal Russian agent, and is also investigating the bad boss, so undercover Among the enemies, he had to betray his father in the hotel. Then, the bad boss knew his identity and wanted to kill people. Finally, Bruce and Yuri worked together to eradicate the evil. Of course Jack and Yuri's daughter fell in love. But after seeing more than half of it, I admit that I did think too much. The movie wanted to highlight the deep love between father and son, but it seems that it is not obvious. All in all, the plot feels like a mess. There are no substantive highlights.
