A Good Day to Die Hard
Iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane, finds himself for the first time on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack - unaware that Jack is really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover that their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes.
Critics Sentiment
Alik orchestrates courthouse explosion allowing Jack and Komarov to escape
John and Jack steal weapons and drive to Chernobyl
The film drops from its highest point during the courthouse explosion to its lowest during the scientifically absurd Chernobyl journey.
Critics found A Good Day to Die Hard to be the weakest entry in the franchise, praising only the explosive action sequences while condemning the weak script, forgettable villains, and absurd plot elements. The film starts poorly, peaks briefly with impressive set pieces, then deteriorates into geographical and scientific nonsense. Most reviewers felt it abandoned everything that made Die Hard great, reducing McClane to a sidekick in his own movie.
