Live Free or Die Hard

I went to see this movie, Die Hard-4. The reason i spent Rs.170 on this was ofcourse accolades that it has received. I was satisfied by the movie but still it didnt vasooled Rs.170 (probably no movie ever will).

The movie depicts a theme of time when almost every basic needs in America is controlled, monitored or is dependent upon software(Traffic,Power,Gas,electricity, telephone, satellites too!!! and most importantly money,funds). Now a good-guy turns bad-guy and tries to hack-n-crack all the systems and attempts to guide america back to stone age. But he forgot that we have a hero Bruce Willis who has already done something like that and all that...hehe. Now, Bruce along with a computer-whizkid (who along with some other guys developed an algorithm that can crack the system i.e. "firesale") tries to avert this.
Now the question arises who wants to do it and how?. Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant), a nice guy earlier tries to prove that the software system post 9/11 that controls major utilities is vulnerable. He tries to prove this by personally hacking into the system. However, authorities got angered with this and conspired to bring him down and ruined his reputation. Embittered, he along with some hackers again cracks into the software and creates havoc. At last, he aims at destroying financial backup stored at a NSA(National Security Headquarters) storage facility. Farrell(the whizkid Bruce is with) sets out to re-route the system while Bruce is trying to save his captivated daughter.
Movie's USP is ofcourse it's action scenes. Both innovative and enthralling. Especially, the Helicopter scene and Fighter Plane one. Worth Watching...
