oward the end of one of many chase scenes in Live Free or Die Hard , detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) responds to the stunned observation, you just killed a helicopter with a car, with deadpan humor, I was out of bullets. The fourth film in a series, this one directed by Len Wiseman, that dates back to the original (1988) and the first since (1995), finds McClane at the center of a techno-terrorist plot to shut down the government and control the financial markets of the United States. The film, which lacks the freshness and wit of previous entries, wisely focuses on the character and cleverness of McClane as hard-luck underdog detective who finds himself in the wrong place at the right time and thus does what no one else could or would do.
