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.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It makes you think that the previous movies, or the first three really great ones, were all just a fluke. Rated: D+ Sep 7, 2017 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk 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 Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire It is, for anyone who loved the original films, an abomination. Jun 21, 2016 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “A Good Day to Die Hard” is missing almost ever signature feature and clever nuance that has made this franchise great. Rated: 2/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Indubitably cares nothing for the old days, trudging forward with explosion after explosion and not much else. Rated: 4/10 Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Aze D This was an average shoot em up. The estranged child trope is tired every where and there was no chemistry between Courtney and Willis. The trip to Chernoble was not compelling at all. How many times has the alleged victim really been the villain? Saw that one coming a mile away. Oh look, they reconciled at end, surprise surprise. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Rosana B Maratonando a sequência Duro de Matar, e essa versão está fofucha com relacionamento conturbado entre pai e filho, porém foi um grande desperdício dramático não colocar também a filha para combater a criminalidade corajosamente... O filme mantém tensão, tiro porrada e bomba, dos anteriores. entretanto o roteiro e o contexto de combate ao terrorismo fica bem a quem dos 2 primeiros (arranha-céu e aeroporto), mas Bruce Willis continua lindo, Virtuoso e imorrível... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review McTiernan F This is how Die Hard ended? in fact it doesn't even feel like die hard, It feels like another one of those cheap action flicks you'd find on VOD. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Idan Charles L I think this movie is overhated, it is not good but it's not awful Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review 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 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 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
