"Die Hard" series represents the heyday of American action movies and the highest level (I did not forget that the Department of "True Lies"), is the top spot in the movie tough guy. But time passed, the now popular American action films is not pure, and previous years is the "Charlie's Angels," led the popular Oriental martial arts, which is the most popular in the essence of the Bonn-style Stern direct a short action. Even the "Mission Impossible" The Tom keep to their own housekeeping movies Shuashuai by the impact of Bonn, in the third high-profile fight but is no longer playing a secret sneak (Anyway, this series of three three- a style, you turned into what we still see.)
This year is the return of many large, the sequel to the film lined up almost no schedule of arrangements. Bonn again staged at this time, the third in this series (I have not read, waiting for a better version... But this is the best one is said), "Die Hard 4" on at this time film is especially risky move. "Die Hard" series stop in the third year is not without reason, "Mission Impossible" is also announced in the third after the fourth shot temporarily. See list of films in the history of the series of films to see, the majority of films are the trilogy, which from a side note: the trilogy is the most scientific, most appropriate mode of storytelling rhythm, not to attempt to break a fourth easy thing to do. But then, if the fourth successful, this series has been so basically you can go on shooting (see 007).
"Die Hard 4," Do not you believe this evil, but also arranged for the National Day with the "Transformers" Health Warning. Fortunately, the release date was a week in advance, or are watching "Transformers" posture, "Tiger" film is likely to not have a chance to board the location of the North American box office.
Back to the film, look at the plot. The film story in the series before the fine tradition of several revolutionary innovations, came up with such a stylish hacking crisis. Here to say a famous American TV show "24", I think the play is set on a large scale migration of the "Die Hard", such as anti-terrorism theme, beat to death a hero, layer upon layer of the crisis, the unexpected plot and so on. However, the sixth season, found that " 24 hours" is not innovative, in addition to the virus to get a nuclear bomb crisis, not anything else. "Die Hard 4" tells us, must be aggressive to survive.
The film is very clever for the plot area, when more than two hours long, the plot is very tight, tense from the beginning to end. In particular, the beginning of a very clever suspense set, neither mentally nor will the audience get lost in the guessing game can not be with.
Next is the film's action scenes, "Tiger 4" is not only ranked first in four in the series (of course there's reason), all the action is also scheduled to be on the movie ranking. Series or on a shooting last century, are cross-century, the action of natural and should have a cross. A very significant development is the extensive use of CG technology, some traces of obvious CG scene, especially with fighters battle, those who clearly are not human to complete the action of course the power of using a computer. In fact, this is another new attempt, compared to the earlier books in the series, computer special effects are very limited, most of the shooting is still real.
Pick root thorns here, at the end of the finale I was not satisfied. "Die Hard" is the traditional villain in the last minute also to gain the upper hand, and John Michael Ryan was about to be finished in time to fight back, and occasionally beat. Indeed, this tradition will be preserved, but with the front of the electro-optical flint action compared to the finale with a pistol pierced his point is too bland. Even compared with the earlier books also have a big gap between the end of the previous bombing of the Ministry is still a helicopter, transport or something, the film was shot to resolve the fighting.
Actors, the film also the efforts to achieve diversity. Needless to say, Bruce Willis, just off the top for many years, very much missed when he has long hair. Although 52 years old, but not to the extent not run, the old cloth this time also play on the life, the spirit that I really admire. He would also like to restore the "Perfect Stranger," the ultra-poor word of mouth (Halle Berry not so good luck), proud of a handful.
Justin Long may this year following the "Transformers" in the Shia LaBeouf another after a super-lucky. Prior to read his "letter of acceptance," What are the characteristics of youth is not a comedy, filled with urine fart jokes. In the performance of his film than the "Admission Notice" in the performance was slightly better, funny part is mainly responsible, but also continuation of the "Die Hard 3 New York City robberies" in the tradition of John Michael Ryan to find a loquacious partner.
Maggie Q said nothing, die early. With the international status, Maggie Q played in the large bit-part player in the run, became a vase, I am afraid this is a long time she was a trend.
"Die Hard 4" is an excellent series of new high quality set of regression, in this fickle era of Hollywood, could have been so steadfast an American action film is a pure action film fans of good fortune.
