Live Free Or Die Hard
Live Free Or Die Hard is what we in the movie business call a “double threat.” This means that the movie succeeds wildly on two different levels - in this case, first as an over-the-top action movie, and secondly as a tender relationship drama.
In Live Free Or Die Hard, Bruce Willis returns as John McClure (arguably the most popular Bear in film history). Since the last film, John has contracted an autoimmune disease that has resulted in the loss of all of his body hair. Thrown into an identity crisis, McClure spirals out of control, neck-deep in crystal meth and boys. When a terrorist organization starts to break the Internet, he’s in no shape to kick any ass.
Enter Matt Farell (played by adult film superstar Justin Long). Farrell, a young, slender, married Apple Computer executive, teams up with McClure to install anti-virus software all over the place. I don’t want to spoil too much of the plot details, but let me just say Farrell doesn’t stay married. Also: boner city. Go see this.
(It’s interesting to note that the original title of this movie was “Live Free Or Die Soft,” because it is the first R-rated — or “softcore” — movie in the series. So those of you expecting a more “balls out” action flick might do better to stick with one of the earlier films, such as “Die Hard With A Handbag.”)
