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 Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson The tired one-liners, smirks, yells, punches, cuts, bruises, and jokes are all here. Rated: 2/5 Oct 14, 2024 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 Read all reviews
