Summary

It had been over a decade since Bruce Willis last played gruff, resilient New York cop John McClane and most fans thought the series finished. But in 2007 it was time for McClane to return to Live Free or Die Hard. Teamed with a computer hacker played by Justin Long, does McClane still have what it takes to stop a cyber-terrorist attack and save his daughter? And is a much older Willis still able to Die Hard? Listen to find out!

0:00.0	This is now playing's diehard retrospective series.
0:29.0	It's a good day to diehard, so each week we will be watching and reviewing a new diehard film ending with a weekend or release review of the new movie.
0:57.0	This review will contain detailed plot spoilers and harsh language.
1:07.0	Listener discretion is advised.
1:16.0	Live free or diehard starring Bruce Willis, Justin Long, Timothy Olofant, Maggie Q, Kevin Smith, and directed by Len Weisman.
1:27.0	I'm Arnie, co-host of Now Playing, who is starting the downloads.
1:31.0	Stewart and L.A.
1:32.0	In this Jacob, living free or podcasting, they're mutually exclusive.
1:36.0	You cannot be a podcast for now playing and live free. It takes up all your time.
1:42.0	I don't like this title, and we're discussing this title.
1:46.0	I had to look up that it was this New Jersey state motto.
1:49.0	I don't like this whole. We're not going to do numbers. We're going to do cutesy titles. It's not even D anymore.
1:54.0	It's not even filed under diehard anymore. You have to put it in the L section.
1:59.0	Should you choose to put it in your video library? I find that obnoxious.
2:03.0	Fortunately, I bought the diehard box set for Blu-ray, so I could have the first three movies, and it's all in one case, so it just goes under D.
2:12.0	Well, Stewart, maybe you want to move to Hungary or one of those little European countries that always makes us have to review these TV films, because internationally, this was called diehard 4.0.
2:22.0	Ah, I like it better. Sorry, it's simple to the point, and I know what I'm getting.
2:27.0	It makes sense, given that this is all about hacking. Software has the point releases. I like that, and then you could call the unrated DVD cut 4.1. It works.
2:37.0	Well, this was a 4th of July movie, though. So, you know, live free or diehard, it went with the weekend. It came out.
2:44.0	Ah, well, I didn't see it in theaters. We're in newbie territory for me. Again, I only saw the first two movies, and a long time ago, I knew when this came out.
2:53.0	I was aware of it, but really, I didn't have any expectation of it being good. I just couldn't imagine at this point, if Bruce Willis was going back to the well, 12 years after the last one that it was for art.
3:05.0	It was going to be a cash grab, right? I approached it with the most cynical eye here, but you're getting my unbiased first response to it.
