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.

It makes you think that the previous movies, or the first three really great ones, were all just a fluke. Go to Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk 09/01/2017

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. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 06/21/2016
It is, for anyone who loved the original films, an abomination. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 10/14/2024

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Zane T 1d While it's clearly the weakest of the 5 films, it's still a fun buddy cop movie. See more ninja B @NinjabowlerYT 1d This movie is the biggest piece of dog crap I have ever laid my eyes on. Not only did this move not need to happen, Not only does it fail to be so bad it's good, but it's probably the worst movie ever made. The fact that they didn't bother to put subtle on the Foreign speaking characters is an atrocity. Previous flims most notably Die hard 3: Die hard with a vengeance had subtle in it when characters were speaking in a foreign language. So why is there no subtles? The actions sences are bad most of the time it trys way too hard to be a different flim for the series for no reason and it shows that there was very little care put into this movie. By all means Necessary DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE! Not even if you watched the first 4 flims Chronologically you shouldn't watch this flim. If you do end up doing so be warned because your gonna get Insomia like I did watching this flim. See more Leaburn O Sep 21 It’s arguably better than the fourth instalment of the franchise. The directing and production is certainly better. The plot is equally flat but no one watches Die Hard for a tight and deep plot. The action is typically endless and the family coming together is a nice way to end the series. It is heavily cliched and some of the accents are awful. I’m not a raw action fan so I was pleased it was short. Watched on DVD. See more Jake S. @TheBrewMan Aug 8 Tomatoes won’t let me click it down to .5 star or 0 star Bottom 5 movie I’ve ever seen. It’s really a shame as well! The other 4 did hards are quite good!! But this is nothing better than bad. See more CaptainBoulder T Jul 16 A shame that this movie exist in a franchise that was so consistent, boring and absolute nothing memorable happened except for the car chase at the beginning See more Kid R. @Philadelphiagoosebumpsfan Jul 3 This is a horrible movie See more Read all reviews
