A Good Day to Die Hard

Disappointing. Rather than dropping John McClane accidentally into a dangerous situation, thus making him a fly in the ointment, the lousy script has him causing most of the dangerous situations. It’s the bombastic destruction of the “Die Hard” formula, the single thing that made everybody love Die Hard in the first place. It’s kinda meta, right? Kinda Charlie Kaufman? A character destroying the plot to their own movie that they are, at that moment,  starring in? Whoa dude… Anyway, too bad John McTiernan is in jail. They could have used him here.
