We watched the "Die Hard 4.0" rental DVD last night. What a cracking film!! We both thoroughly enjoyed this. On the surface it was a thrilling action movie that doesn't stop assaulting the viewer for 2 hours: car chases, exploding helicopters, gun battles, kung fu fights, and wise-cracking cynical characters....all very enjoyable. Behind all of this was a truly scary storyline. What would happen if we lost our essential services--power, water, communications and transport--to terrorism? Well, anarchy basically. What scared me about this plot was how it showed how we have become reliant on technology to help run every aspect of our lives. If that is tampered with or destroyed, what do we do then?
Anyway, hats off to all involved. One of the best summer blockbusters I have seen in years. Shame we missed that at the flicks, as those effects would look great on the big screen.
