IMDb: John McClane travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack, only to discover that Jack is a CIA operative working to prevent a nuclear-weapons heist, causing the father and son to team up against underworld forces.
Thaa Movie Thoughts: Well, Yes, obviously its the 5th installment to the franchise. And of course what Die Hard movie would be complete without some explosions, bullets, more explosions, more bullets, fire, a Yippe Kay Yay...., and a happy ending. Well this time lets add in some Father and Son time (Unlike the 4th installment, where it was Father/Daughter time, and much more technical stuff), Traveling to another country, oh and my personal favorite, a piece of history in the movie, Chernobyl.
So the movie goes, Son kills man, Son is thrown in overseas jail, Father to the rescue, Father messes up sons undercover job, the innocent man that really isn't innocent really is behind the whole thing, innocent man and father have father to father moment and son forgives father at the moment (it was a non verbal) Innocent man daughter was in on the thing but seemed otherwise. Helicopter. Son gives up, father motivates son. Bad guys die. Mission success.
My one whole question, When the hell did McClane have a son? I remember no reference to him having "Children" just a child. This need investigation.
What I think, I liked the movie, yea it wasn't as outstanding as the previous Die Hard movies, but I enjoy seeing a franchise survive. I like how they know in real life, Bruce Willis is old, and lets it been seen in the movies, despite the loss of hair. I feel like there will be one more Die Hard movie, and it needs to be the last one, cause really they are just dragging this out. What more better way to end a franchise than to save the world, not just from a dude or chick that want to control it, but like have a full proof plan, will make the world have less countries or land mass type save the world. lol
IMDb: A father goes undercover for the DEA in order to free his son who was imprisoned after being set up in drug deal.
Thaa Movie Thoughts: This movie was AWESOME! Thee end go see it. haha...... But for real, this movie was awesome, It was good to Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" in a different character role. That " I'm going to do whatever it takes to save my son, and if I die doing it, my little daughter and wife will be okay" role.
I am always intrigued by what actual events in movies like these are the true events, and how much of the true event has been changed for the sake of the movie.
(Intro Spoiler)
But anyway, so the movie is about this father that who's son is betrayed by his so called best friend he sends a bag of drugs to his house. Tracked by the DEA, and son goes to prison. And the movie opens.
I won't say nothing else about the movie, cause I think you really should go see it, but here are some things that really stuck out to me
(possible spoilers)
I think this is the first time I have seen The Rock get his ass beat. (Fast Five was an even fight)
This is one of the few times, that I have seen a movie that has a non-black split family
Criminals that change their ways to do better for their family, and work at do good.
Father that realize he was wrong in his view
If your going to make deals, know how to get out and around them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So in short, I would go see both movies, Die Hard 5 if you want something entertaining and action packed, and Snitch because it was just an awesome movie, especially to have Dwayne Johnson as main character.
These are my thoughts, Do you have any?
