a willing suspension of disbelief

Okay, so "Live Free or Die Hard" wasn't exactly the mostest amazingest bestest incrediblest movie ever made. But it was fun, and definitely a thrill ride. There were some 'oh, puh-lease' moments, but in general, it delivered. Fun, fluffy, good escapism...McClane's still got it, and "Mac" [of the Apple Mac/PC commercials] is a surprisingly good actor. Who knew??
