Finally, a summer blockbuster!

Live Free or Die Hard incorporates technology at the center of the plot without getting ridiculously detailed with ridiculous details. The upcoming “Agent 47″ Timothy Olyphant directs a gang of French parkour-practicing baddies; Bruce Willis defeats them with a brutish Daniel Craig-esque lack of finesse, with Justin “I’m a Mac” Long providing tech support. Maggie Q is the requisite eye-candy hot ninjette, and Kevin Smith makes a speaking appearance as War10ck.

Thankfully, there aren’t any forced references to any of the earlier Die Hard movies (they would be almost 20 years old!); this movie actually could have just stood on its own.
