             Oh, modern! Computers and Internet and mobile phones and everything.  And John (Willis) has a now grown-up daughter who hates him.

       John is roped into rescuing a known hacker, Matthew, (Long) who is in danger from the bad guys.

       Is that enough of the story? The shooting starts very early on.

       Maybe it’s a mistake to watch a Die Hard film three Fridays in a row. I understand that each one has to outdo its predecessor but this one really is too much of a muchness.

       Long is very good and even Willis has some good lines. It’s exciting and yes, I do like these films, this film. But you know? I don’t quite love them. 

 3 ½ * of 5 (Hal likes it a lot and gives it 4 ½ *.)
