Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Jamie Russell

Twelve years after he last donned the white vest in Die Hard with a Vengeance, Bruce Willis returned as John McClane in this unabashedly retro blockbuster. As a cyber-terrorist (Justified's Timothy Olyphant) threatens to hack America to a standstill, McClane is once more the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. Willis returns to the role that made him an action star with unexpected ease, striking up a witty, odd-couple partnership with Justin Long's cowardly hacker. Meanwhile, a rollicking selection of over-the-top set pieces - including the jaw-dropping sight of a fighter jet playing chicken with an 18-wheel tanker truck - puts the $100-million budget to explosive use. Aware of its own ridiculousness but unwilling to slip into outright parody, it instead channels the laughs into some immaculately polished quips for its ever-lugubrious hero. Loud, relentless and thoroughly entertaining, it's an enjoyable throwback to the 1980s.
