LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD

In order to accept Barry Bonds as the homerun champion of baseball, you have to ignore the laws of physics and believe that people get older and stronger.
In order to enjoy Die Hard 4, you have to accept the concept that vehicles run well with bullet holes in the engire - that shots fired by bad guys have a natural tendency to miss their targets - that explosions are noisy, but harmless.
I reject Barry Bonds, but I am willing to concede Bruce Willis, each and every supernatural power he requires to complete his mission. This is a fine action picture, with humor and wisecracks adding to the enjoyment and taking some of the sting out of the senseless violence. Please, don't be a person who is upset by movie violence, yet, goes to see a film that is only about violence - that is just plain dumb.
