Live Free or Die Hard

Great action-packed, guy movie. In typical Die Hard fashion there's lots of bad guys getting their butts kicked by John McLean (Bruce Willis), lots of gun fire and explosions.

And along the lines of Die Hard 3, this one branches out from the one building of the first Die Hard to encompass a large section of the United States. So, more car chases and even some helicopters and Air Force planes. Cool stuff.

Kind of a steady progression to larger locations starting with an office building, moving to an airport to a city to the Eastern U.S. So, I guess if there's a Die Hard 5 it will have Willis (or his character) travelling all over the U.S. And Die Hard 6... world domination.

The release revolved around what hackers call a "fire sale" where basically the intent is to shut down the country and take it back a few hundred years with no communications, no utilities, and crash the stock market... basically Armageddon with how dependent we are on technology now-a-days.

Of course I'm not spoiling the ending by saying he gets the bad guy in the end. That's a given.
