Live Free or Die Hard Review

[@dougdamron6813]

Bringing up Timothy Olyphant without mentioning Deadwood or Justified is like bringing up Bryan Cranston without mentioning Breaking Bad just because it's Tv.

[@iamsuperbatman1993]

Glad I am not the only one who likes this film.

[@SweenyTodd98]

To be fair when Alan Rickman did the first Die Hard movie he was pretty much an unknown, it was his first ever movie role

[@matth5030]

Rickman is a far better actor than Olyphant, though.

[@a1investigations433]

Matt H Disagree. They are pretty close in talent.

[@franohmsford7548]

Rickman is a LEGEND, There aren't many actors of his calibre, It's pretty unfair to put down Ollyphant based on not being Alan Rickman!

[@L33tSkE3t]

He was also an accomplished theatre actor prior to his movie career. RIP Alan Rickman

[@lordofthereels6790]

Olyphant is an amazing actor though mostly through his TV work in Justified and Deadwood as stone cold bad ass gunslingers. It baffles me how under appreciated i feel he is in Hollywood, also if you want to watch a criminally under rated hidden horror gem starring Olyphant, check out the 2000s The Crazies remake.

[@Megatron_95]

You should've mention that Timothy Olyphant was Raylan Givens from the tv series Justifed

[@nijunikuro]

I'd like to point out that the "really obvious CGI" cars were actually NOT CGI. They really did throw an actual car on top of 2 other cars, then added green-screened actors between them. It's kinda funny how they spent so much money to wreck real cars to make that scene look real, only for everyone to bash the scene as "obvious CGI". XD

[@ajk6907]

Timothy Olyphant was Seth Bullock in HBO's Deadwood. Hardly an unknown!

[@randallbowman9140]

Nobody watched Deadwood...

[@MrThankman360]

And Justified was awesome too

[@decay79]

He's awesome in both Justified and Santa Clarita diet.

[@mikeylikesit100]

Timothy Olyphant was great on 'Justified'.

[@billdelfera8580]

And Deadwood

[@themoviereviewernextdoor5327]

And I liked hitman

[@randalgraves6979]

I first saw him as the drug dealer in GO.

[@youngtate3891]

& The Crazies.

[@TheFreakyFanatic]

I think Timothy Olyphant was actually a more recognizable name when he was cast in Live Free or Die Hard than when Alan Rickman was cast in the original. Rickman was pretty much an unknown especially in the US when he was cast in Die Hard where as Olyphant was coming off the popularity of Deadwood. Although I understand why Decker wouldn't consider Olyphant that recognizable as he doesn't watch TV. Long pointless monologue over.

[@davsny5]

Never understood why after three movies, they replaced his iconic Beretta 92FS with a Sig Sauer P220, only to have the Beretta return in the 5th movie. I mean its a great gun but why? I don't remember them doing that to Martin Riggs.

[@JohnAvengerJR1985]

The pg-13 version doesn't bother me cuz Thats the cut i saw in Theaters.The film as a whole is one hell of a ride.

[@TevyaSmolka]

i personally like the unrated cut way better then the theatrical cut but that's just my opinion

[@JohnAvengerJR1985]

I do like the unrated cuz I just wish that Fox didn't edit some of the dialogue and the dvd had some forced curse words said off camera.Other than that Its a good cut of the film.

[@TevyaSmolka]

John Avenger agreed

[@billdelfera8580]

1:47 it's the kid from My Moms Got a Date with a Vampire! Lol Disney original movies were the shit back in the day.

[@TheDarkZeroGame]

as a guy in computer science, when coding, i tend to hit delete instead of backspace when coding soooooooooo, I'd be screwed over right in the first couple of seconds.

[@DeckerShado]

TheDarkZeroGame Ah.. well I learned something new today. :)

[@TheDarkZeroGame]

WOOOOOOOO A REPLY FROM THE MAN DECKER HIMSELF

[@InvaderGIR98]

TheDarkZeroGame Senpai noticed you

[@johncanderson162]

I'm currently studying I.T. at college, and my networking professor made a point of talking about how this movie was the most accurate example of how hacking actually would work in real life. That's right: out of all the movies out there with hacking plots, it was Die Hard that actually got it right.

[@L33tSkE3t]

Until watching this video, I thought Timothy Olyphant was just Josh Duhamel having a bad hair day.

[@dayaninikhaton]

"Timothy Oliphant walks into an Oscars Awards show." DAAMMMN. Shots fired LMAO

[@JohnAvengerJR1985]

This is a great sequel that has alot of entertainment value for me:Tons of over the top action,a cool premise for a Die Hard film,and the always sexy Maggie Q being a bad ass.What more could a guy ask for?Thanks for the review Decker.

[@dante340]

Alan Rickman wasn't a "big name" when he was cast as Hans Gruber....

[@faolan1686]

That was an F-35 Decker, not a Harrier

[@DeckerShado]

faolan1686 ...d'oh. You see? This is why I never got my pilot's licence.

[@magnasupreme]

[@UnitYT6161]

faolan1686 To be fair i thought it was a harrier aswell but for this i blame Mgs2 ^^

[@fakenews6133]

It was clearly not a Harrier, but who cares! HE SLID DOWN IT AND IT WENT BOOOM!!!

[@lordsubziro2824]

Kudos on pointing that out. I was about to, but I wanted to check the other comments first. Glad I did. I'm impressed how Hollywood finally updated their jet fighter tech and didn't cheese it like using a F-5 fighter and calling it a Soviet MiG (see Top Gun). Wait until Decker reviews the next Die Hard movie.

[@MrDueltube]

Timothy Olyphant was also Seth Bullock in Deadwood. Pretty good and well known show.

[@sesfilmsllc]

7:49 Well he was also Seth Bullock in Deadwood.

[@youngtate3891]

Timothy Olyphant is an underrated actor. How dare you?? 😂😂

[@johnmoore2910]

Timothée was the lead in deadwood

[@Insomniac2969]

Well, doesn't make too little sense that the trigger for the computer bombs was on the delete key, as it's the delete in ctrl+alt+del. Y'know, the delete key that deletes characters in front of the cursor as opposed to the one more commonly labeled backspace, where the sole function is deleting text to right to left.

[@ImNathen]

"review the marvel films Decker!" - youtube commenter "i will fucking end you" - me

[@Landers]

Awesome review as usual Decker! Love your work!

[@unownbob123]

the reason y they chose delete is because its the first reaction to when ur computer freezes, and if i remember right that is was justin long's character was goin to do b4 bruce willis turned up

[@nordicruin4756]

He was playing Gears of War, praise him

[@Chud_Bud_Supreme]

I recognized the side-kick from Dodgeball!

[@nurse425]

I actually really liked this movie! It was cool seeing the proverbial analog man trying to compete in the digital world. A lot of the plot points were convincingly scary enough "What if you called 911 and no one answered". And the new characters were fleshed out well enough for me. Now the Die Hard movie that came AFTER this one SHOULD NOT have happened. McClane went from an every-man to damn near an Avengers character.

[@seanwilkinson7431]

I was disappointed with John McClaine not being as bloody as he was by Act III of the other films, and the PG-13 waste of "Yippie-kai-yay, mother--" ×gunshot× after he spent his one f-bomb earlier in the movie.

[@Mightymick114]

He was also the killer in scream 2

[@randalgraves6979]

Are you considering doing the lethal weapon movies while you're doing this genre?

[@bootleg686]

It always bothered me that Warlock was playing the first Gears of War when the 2nd came out in 2008. Although I'm not entirely sure if the 2nd came out when this movie was in shooting.

[@adriandude85]

It was filmed September 2006 through February 2007 I believe. So yes before gears 2 would be out

[@latviiansda3725]

Holy crap, how come I've never watched your videos? you're amazing, funny as Hell

[@gsgk9674]

I wouldn't be so hard on Timothy. I mean: how tough and bad looking a computer-hacking guy can be, even if he's still pissed at The Agency?

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

Man what does Decker have against Tim Oliphant lol Deckers rating: 4/5

[@4Everlast]

One of the best action movies EVER. If we just count the action scenes. Along side John Rambo (4).

[@ralphjames1211]

Question, how does someone with jewfro hair get it to be like your hair when it's long?

[@zom8979]

who does that beautiful voice from off screen belong to Decker?

[@a1investigations433]

Olyphant is brilliant. At least as good as Irons (that DnD, sheesh), and in the ballpark with Rickman. Familiarize yourself with his work.

[@Gabeschannel]

Who is speaking in the background?

[@joem1480]

just not of curiosity, you do know that Hans Gruber was out expense first ever role

[@finsfan9424]

it was fun to watch for sure

[@franohmsford7548]

Just an FYI.....Alan Rickman, Jeremy Irons and William Sadler were NOT big names prior to their roles in Die Hard 1,2 and 3! Scar was a Voice Acting role and Jeremy Irons had really done very little of note before Die Hard with a Vengeance. Alan Rickman was known mainly for the Barchester Chronicles - A British TV Series that I'm not even sure got shown in the States! William Sadler was an absolute nobody! Timothy Ollyphant was at least as well known prior to Die Hard 4 as any of them.

The only notable thing about this movie for me is a coworker who thinks he's this very aware sort of survivalist (in as much as wearing only North Face makes you a survivalist) keep on yelling "Fire sale!" when an ATM isn't working....

[@superprojectburn2889]

Anyone seen the book of eli?

[@FordPrefict42]

After watching your review and scrolling through the comment section for a bit, I've noticed a complete lack of love for Cyril Raffaelli. You called him hardcore parkour. Cyril was one of the twins in Kiss Of the Dragon with Jet Li. If you want to see him at his best, I recommend checking out B-13 and its sequel D-13 U. Cyril Raffaelli and David Bell work phenomenally together, and though both are French movies, they are dubbed in English also.

[@ElOchentero]

I've never seen a Die Hard movie, should I?

[@razorbike2964]

Yes you should it's a sin if you haven't seen the first one

[@cajunboi4888]

Just don't watch the fifth one

[@ElOchentero]

Maybe I should watch them in regressive order and would be like having an epic ending

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

Yes, for sure. The original is one of the best action films ever made (perhaps the single best) and the first three sequels are very good fun. I'd honestly say you should watch the first four. The fifth one can be skipped, though. (And in fact, I'd actively encourage skipping it. It's that bad.)

[@ElOchentero]

MaximumMadnessStixon well I'm not a big fan of the classic action movie (like Rambo), I like more when they have a plot behind, like V for Vendetta or Crouching Tyger, but still Die Hard sound interesting I'll give it a chance and would watch the first 3

[@lordofthereels6790]

Although I will give you i never could see Olyphant playing a hacker maybe Jesse Eisenberg or Anton Yelchin would have been better in that type of role.

[@griffingower1883]

I believe that gears of war and the xbox 360 came out on the same year as this movie since Gears of War is show twice in the movie

[@Lava91point0]

I never understood why they wrote John being estranged from his daughter, it just seems mean spirited but i guess they were trying to portray him as a stressed aging cop, who can't get a break. Then they did it again with his son in the fifth movie, who had to be a younger carbon copy of Mclane in case they want to do more sequels down the line 🙄

[@saulpaul8422]

Come on man Timothy was the villain in Scream 2 and played Bullock in the H.B.O. series Dead Wood and the Crazies remake. Seriously what is your problem with that actor. I hated this movie, way to beat a dead horse right after castrating it Hollywood.
