"In
Moscow, Viktor Chagarin (Sergei Kolesnikov), a high-ranking, but corrupt Russian official, plans on incriminating
political prisoner, former billionaire and government
whistleblower, Yuri Komarov (
Sebastian Koch), without a fair trial when Komarov refuses to hand over a secret file believed to have convicting evidence against Chagarin. In a separate incident, Jack McClane (
Jai Courtney) is arrested as a result of an assassination attempt but agrees to testify against Komarov for a shorter sentence.
John McClane (
Bruce Willis), who has not been in touch with his son for several years, learns of his son's actions and travels to
Russia to help. When John finally arrives and approaches the courthouse that holds Komarov on trial, a bomb explosion orchestrated by Chagarin and his henchmen occurs in the courthouse, and Jack breaks free with Komarov. Seeing his son, John confronts him, but their dispute is cut short when Chagarin's henchmen, led by Alik (Radivoje Bukvić), chases them in a
Ural Typhoon MRAP on the streets of Moscow. John and Komarov manage to escape."
The plot was too simple and I'm quite sad to see that the series has fallen from grace. First off I don't really like the choice of actor for John McClane Jr. I felt like he didn't have enough experience for the role. The twists in this film were predictable as well as boring and the action was quite tame. This film is no where as dead as the old Die Hards. Plus John Moore is not a good director who has only made very shitty action movies. The screenwriter Skip Woods also isn't good at his job, he wrote the films Hitman,THe A-Team, and a few other films. With Woods and Moore at the helm this film was doom from the start sadly. I suggest you skip this film
0.5/5
