Our take on A Good Day to Die Hard
John Moore's 2013 action thriller sends unyielding cop John McClane onto foreign soil for the first time, traveling to Moscow to help his estranged son Jack. What he doesn't know is that Jack is a trained CIA operative working to stop a nuclear weapons heist. As the Russian underworld closes in and a countdown ticks toward disaster, father and son discover that their clashing methods somehow make them a formidable team. It's a fast, loud, globe-trotting entry built around gunfire, car chases and destruction. Best suited to viewers who want undemanding, high-octane action and the familiar wisecracking McClane persona, especially fans following the long-running series to its most explosive overseas outing.
