Plot

edit

In Moscow, Viktor Chagarin, a high-ranking, corruptRussianofficial, plans to incriminate former billionaire and governmentwhistleblowerYuri Komarov in arigged trialunless he hands over a secret file believed to contain evidence incriminating Chagarin. Separately, Jack McClane, arrested after an assassination attempt, negotiates for a shorter sentence by offering to testify against Komarov.

Jack's father,NYPDdetectiveJohn McClane,who has not been in touch with his son for several years, learns he is in trouble and flies to Russia. As John approaches the courthouse where Komarov is on trial, an explosion orchestrated by Chagarin's henchman Alik occurs in the courthouse, and Jack breaks free with Komarov. John confronts Jack, but their dispute is cut short as Alik and his men chase them in anMRAPthrough Moscow.

Hiding in a safe house, John finds out that Jack is aCIAoperative and has been on an undercover operation for the past three years. Jack's partner, Mike Collins, demands the file's location from Komarov so the CIA can bring Chagarin down. He agrees on the condition that he and his daughter are given safe passage out of Russia. The group are ambushed by Chagarin's men; Collins is shot and killed while the McClanes and Komarov escape, making their way to a hotel to get thesafe deposit boxkey containing the file. There they meet up with Komarov's daughter, Irina, as planned. Alik and his men burst in and tie up John and Jack, taking Komarov hostage; Irina confesses to informing on them. Jack breaks free of his ties and he and John kill most of the guards present. Alik and Irina, with Komarov still their hostage, return in aMil Mi-24attack helicopter and try to kill them, but they escape.

That night, Jack and John steal a car full of weapons, driving toPripyat,Ukraine,where the safe deposit box with the file is located, only to find that Komarov, Irina, and Alik are already there. John feels suspicious at the scene since there are many men loading containers in the vehicles while instead they are supposed to only get a secret file. The safe deposit box with the supposed file is a secret passage to aChernobyl-eravault containing€1 billion worth of weapons-gradeuranium.It turns out that there is no secret file and Komorov and Irina have concocted a scheme to steal the uranium deposit to make big money in the black market. Komarov kills Alik and calls Chagarin to gloat as the latter is killed by one of Komarov's men while he is in a sauna.

As John and Jack enter the vault, Komarov pretends that he is glad that they are coming to save him but Jack realizes the uranium in the vault and figures out the whole scheme. As he and John prepare to apprehend Komarov, Irina and some henchmen come to her father's aid. As they prepare to leave, Jack follows Komarov, while John goes after Irina, who is escaping in aMil Mi-26helicopter; he sneaks into the rear compartment. Irina tries to protect her father by firing the helicopter's guns at Jack, but John is able to bring the helicopter off balance by driving a truck out of the cargo section while it is secured to the helicopter by a chain. Komarov taunts Jack by saying he will get to watch his father die, prompting Jack to hurl him off the rooftop and into the spinning helicopter blades, killing him. John is thrown from the truck and into the building.

As Jack and John reunite, Irina tries to avenge her father by ramming the helicopter, now out of ammunition, into the building in a suicide attack. John and Jack leap off the building into a large pool of water as the helicopter crashes and explodes, killing Irina.

Having reconciled, John and Jack fly back home to America and are reunited with an excited Lucy.

Casting

edit

When casting the role of Jack McClane, the studios considered several actors, includingLiam Hemsworth,Aaron Paul,andJames Badge Dale,[8]before ultimately settling on Australian actorJai Courtney.[9]Mary Elizabeth Winsteadalso appeared in the film, reprising her role as McClane's daughter Lucy.[10]However all her scenes were cut from the Extended release.[11]

In July 2012, a fire broke out on the set while shooting an aerial stunt, though no one was injured and shooting resumed after a short delay.[20]

In creating the film's visual style, Moore wanted the camera work to be almost entirely handheld, using three 4 Perforation35mmArri[21]cameras equipped with long lenses to capture tight close-ups, for Moore explained, "McClane is in a strange world, with little or no initial control over his environment. He's unable to anticipate things as he normally might. He's caught off guard, and we want the camera to mimic that surprise and confusion."[22]Moore also chose to create as many of the film's effects on camera as possible, only using visual effects to enhance elements or paint in backgrounds.[22]

Critical response

edit

OnRotten Tomatoes,the film has an approval rating of 15% based on 232 reviews and anaverage ratingof 3.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A Good Day to Die Hardis the weakest entry in a storied franchise, and not even Bruce Willis's smirking demeanor can enliven a clichéd, uninspired script. "[39]OnMetacritic,the film has aweighted averagescore of 28 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[40]On both websites, the film ranked lowest among theDie Hardfilms. Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, the lowest score of the franchise.[41]

A. O. ScottofThe New York TimesdescribedA Good Day to Die Hardas "a handful of extended set pieces—each more elaborate and therefore somehow less exciting than the last—linked by a simple-minded plot and a handful of half-clever lines." Though complimenting the special effects, he criticizes the direction of John Moore, the lack of style, and writes that "everything that made the firstDie Hardmemorable—the nuances of character, the political subtext, the cowboy wit—has been dumbed down or scrubbed away entirely. "[42]Todd McCarthyofThe Hollywood Reporterexpressed similar sentiments, particularly of the direction, for which he says that Moore "has directed these sequences in a way that makes the incidents look so far-fetched and essentially unsurvivable that you can only laugh".[43]Kenneth Turan of theLos Angeles Timesgave the film a 2/5 and remarked that it lacked "inspiration", and that the onscreen rivalry of Willis and Courtney was "more irritant than enticement."[44]Richard Roeper,standing in forRoger Eberton Ebert's website, rated the film one and a half stars out of four, criticizing the implausibility of the action sequences, as well as the film's lack of sufficient characterization for McClane and the villains as compared to the other films in the series. He says that "McClane has been stripped of any real traces of an actual three-dimensional character," and that the film "never giv[es] us a chance to get the least bit involved with any of these characters."[45]

Among the rare positive reviews,Robbie CollinforThe Daily Telegraphremarked that "Yet even though the ride finally stalls,A Good Day To Die Hardhas been thrustingly outrageous enough in its earlier moments to coast to the finish line on momentum. "[46]Daniel M. Kimmel,writing for theNew England Movies Weekly,found the film to be better thanLive Free or Die Hardand states that the car chase scene "is well worth the price of admission." With a 3.5/5 rating, Kimmel summed up his review saying, "it's probably a good day to end the series at last, but it's an action-packed and entertaining finale."[47]Rick Groen ofThe Globe and Mailcriticized the action scenes as being "messy", but concluded his review saying that the film "continues the franchise without undue embarrassment."[48]Peter Howell ofThe Toronto Starremarked that Willis and Courtney made a strong estranged family duo and that the film had a nice drinking game routine going for it with how many times McClane exclaims "I'm on vacation!" during the running time.[49]

Accolades

edit

At the40th People's Choice Awards,A Good Day to Die Hardreceived a nomination for Favorite Thriller Movie.[50]It was nominated for Best International Poster, Best Teaser Poster, and Best Pre-Show Theatrical Advertising at the 2013Golden Trailer Awards.[51]

Future

edit

Cancelled sequel

edit

When the production was formally announced for the fifth film in the series, Bruce Willis expressed his desire to retire the John McClane character in a sixth and final film.[54][55]By September 2017, directorLen Wisemanpublicly floated that he was casting for a young version of John McClane for his self-penned origin story calledJohn McClane,whose plot was rumored to borrow heavily from theDie Hard: Year Onecomic book mini-series.[56]Six months later, the studio enlisted duoChad HayesandCarey W. Hayesto re-write the screenplay after Bruce Willis refused to endorse the previous edition and its actor.[57][58]

In July 2018, producerLorenzo di Bonaventurasubmitted an updated treatment titledMcClane,further confirming that the storyline features elements of McClane's and Holly's characters in the 1970s, intermixed with their present-day counterparts.[59][60]The following month, Wiseman stated that pre-production on the new film should start "...fairly soon, no dates" once the script has been completed.[61]Tobey Maguirejoined the production team late summer 2018.[62]By December 2018, di Bonaventura handed in yet another draft, this time without input from Willis.[63]Production designer Carol Uraneck, who was hired in September 2018, later left the project by the close of the year.[64]In February 2019, the production team made a revision to the writing, insinuating that the project, though supposedly moving forward, is on the studio's backburner, as evinced by executives not even having read the script yet.[65]ActressMary Elizabeth Winsteadsaid that she would be interested in returning as Lucy Gennero-McClane in a future installment, but later intimated doubt that the film would ever get made[66][67]due to scheduling conflicts.[68]

Die Hardwas removed from the Fox imprint through at least its 2021 slate, afterDisney's acquisitionand senior management shake-up, which saw the dismissal of its theatrical distribution executive, Chris Aronson.[69][70][71]

The production was later cancelled outright in August 2019 after further consideration by Disney.[72][73]

Willis reprised his role as McClane for the final time in 2020 for an advertisement for theDieHardcar battery commercial.[74]Willis later retired from acting in 2022 due to being diagnosed withaphasia,ruling out any future return as McClane.[75]

Possible television reboot

edit

In lieu of company-wide reorganization, Disney is said to be rebooting the property as a streaming series onHulu.[76][77][78][79]
