A Good Day to Die Hard

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A Good Day to Die Hard is the weakest entry in a storied franchise, and not even Bruce Willis' smirking demeanor can enliven a cliched, uninspired script.

Reel Talk Online

It makes you think that the previous movies, or the first three really great ones, were all just a fluke.

The action is spectacular but it's incoherently directed, so often you can't tell who's smashing what lorry/jeep/helicopter into what, let alone why.

Rated: 3/5

It is, for anyone who loved the original films, an abomination.

Keith & the Movies

“A Good Day to Die Hard” is missing almost ever signature feature and clever nuance that has made this franchise great.

Deep Focus Review

A Good Day to Die Hard fails not only to meet the requirements of an ample Die Hard sequel, but it also fails to be a watchable piece of mindless action.

Rated: 0.5/4

Gone With The Twins

Indubitably cares nothing for the old days, trudging forward with explosion after explosion and not much else.

Timothy T This isn't as bad as people say it is. Yes it's a bit over the top and most characters are dull but it still delivers the action and comedy we've come to know and love with this franchise. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Aaron B There is no discernible plot, not chemistry between Willis and Courtney (like there was with Banks, Jackson and Long in 1, 3 and 4) no John McClane zingers, no iconic bad guy, and no steady cam (ugh)... an utter failure of a Die Hard movie. Do not watch. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Jay H Possibly the most boring action movie I've ever watched. I would stare at a blank movie screen for two hours before I'd watch this again. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review Grant R Seen way worse with better rotten tomato scores. Probably the worst in the series but not a terrible movie Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Sebastian L This has to be one of the worst scripts ever, accompanied by nauseating camera work, strange pace/editing and the ugliest grading I've ever seen. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Tony S It turns out that John McClain has a bad relationship with his son, but it's nothing that a rescue from Moscow can't improve. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
