Abysmal in nearly every way, but particularly as a heat-free ripoff of De Palma's THE UNTOUCHABLES. The talented cast is misdirected all to hell, the script doesn't hit a solitary true, inventive, or even entertaining note, and the action scenes are as exciting as a long wait at the DMV.

The most underrated comedy since "Used Cars."

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Myopic fanboys largely just complained that this didn't have enough profanity, but as an exciting look at another bad day for Willis' John McClane, this does the trick. Wiseman's competent handling of action scenes is bolstered by Willis' enthusiastic performance, while the pacing makes it feel leaner than it actually is. Serious foul with the fighter jet/semi-truck battle, though, a scene so stupid and unnecessary that it nearly wrecks the climax.
