Live Free or Die Hard

This movie was absolutely incredible. Although there wasn't nearly as much blood as some action movies out there, they did a really good job of making the action very realistic and believable without getting too graphic and gory. It's the fourth of July: a former U.S. national security worker hacks the entire U.S. computer system in order to steal hundreds of billions of dollars. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is suddenly dragged into the midst of a major battle against the hackers after he was deployed to pick up a suspected hacker who actually turned out to be McClane's best tool to eliminate the hackers. The action is non-stop, and the stunts and effects are just to where you would say "That would be almost impossible!" but yet not so unrealistic as to make it dumb. If you're an action fan, this movie was awesome. Like nearly all action movies, there was some language, I don't really pay too much attention to counting words or anything, but there was a sprinkling of some dirty words. Other than that, I thought the movie was spectacular. The violence was too much for kids, but for teens and adults this was one of the better action flicks I've seen. I give this one an 8.5 out of 10 stars. It would be higher, other than entire-family oriented objectionable material.
