As directed by my generational contemporary Len Wiseman, Live Free or Die Hard shows at least a superficial understanding of what makes Willis» most fiscally successful films tick: a hissable bad guy (Timothy Olyphant as cyber-terrorist Thomas Gabriel), armies of henchmen (and in this case, a henchwoman), and NYPD cop McClane, reluctantly drawn into
bruising fistfights and games of chicken with large vehicles and machinery.
Violence: Men engage in a
fistfight, resulting in minor scrapes and
bruises, as well as a visit from the police for creating a domestic disturbance.
