It's not that bad...

It all depends on expectations...

If you were expecting a continuation of the Die Hard series - search elsewhere.

However, if you like a good action movie and have no high expectations - it may be a good popcorn one.

The story by itself is no big wonder, you've probably seen all the clichés which form an integral part of the story, however there are quite a few twists which you will enjoy.

From the visual side - it's a bit different story. The action sequences are good (a few seconds of which could even be "great"). All the latest gizmos, weapons, luxury cars, etc. But what did you expect? Wrecks? Well you will get some of those too.

The filming locations were good too: an instant switch from the modern Russian capital back to an old city in Ukraine - great stuff.

So - summarized - this Die Hard movie is far from being a Die Hard movie, but still worth a try if you like action movies, especially with a Russian/Ukrainian zest.
