A Good Day To Die Hard

A Good Day To Die Hard is a lame attempt to recreate a classic 1980s action film. With a flimsy plot, one dimensional characters, average action sequences, cheesy punch-lines, terrible writing and acting bad enough to make me  want to leave the theatre, I was really disappointed in a movie I really hoped might be good.

The story starts by introducing old Bruce Willis, with no setup I might add, entering Russia in search of his fugitive son. After a few explosions and a less then impressive car chase leads to an unwanted reunion of father (Bruce Willis) and son (Jai Courtney). They now must fight the Russian intelligence Jack had been spying on for the CIA. The film plays out as an awkward partnership of father and son that must work for the sake of the stuiped plot.

No one hates giving a bad review more than me because I can only imagine the amount of work making a movie actually is, but this movie was actually hard to watch. I believe that car chases, gun fire and bad-ass leads are all a wonderful part of the film experience, but not at the expense of a good plot and believable actors. I give A Good Day To Die Hard 1 1/2 out of 4 stars.
