This is the corniest, most predictable imitation of Die Hard imaginable, but in a completely affable way that had me literally slapping my knee with laughter. It's not good, but you can't hate it. Good old Rock, Rock beats everything.

I dunno, I think it's almost like the bigger he gets, the funnier he gets. He really has become our new Arnie.

Stumbled across this one tonight.
"Ok guys, for this one we'll do Die Hard 1 meets Towering Inferno meets Mission Impossible whatever, you know, that one that had Tom Cruise dicking around outside the skyscraper. And we'll have The Rock as John Mclean."
And that is exactly what they did. This film is PRECISELY 62% Die Hard I, 28% Towering Inferno and 10% Mission Impossible Tom Cruise climbing outside that Dubai skyscraper.
But that's all it is.
Somehow they had such a dramatic setting yet managed to completely miss at capturing the essence that made Die Hard I so great. Perfectly exemplified by the closing scene with the wooden HK cop saying "I've been waiting to meet you". Um, no you kind of haven't been. We never at any stage of the movie got any inkling that you were an actual human. They just pasted that scene in STRAIGHT from the end of Die Hard I when John Mclean finally meets the black cop except without bothering to do ANY of the character development that would lead to either of them wanting to meet one another. FFS. |
