Cs saw 'A Good Day to Die Hard' because he wanted to see Bruce Willis wise crack his way to saving the world yet again whilst I went to perve on newcomer, Aussie actor Jai Courtney.
Both of us laughed until we cried at several scenes, so funny is this film in parts. It's not meant to be funny, or at least the scenes that had us laughing were not intended to be humorous but that was its impact on us.
In essence Willis travels to Moscow to extricate his son (Courtney) from a difficulty only for both to find themselves in greater difficulty. The film is a succession of set pieces of noisy mayhem. No surprise there. Some (all?) of these scenes and most of the situations are so ludicrous they drew tears of laughter from us both. An extended, over the top, car chase early on will remain memorable for all the wrong reasons.
A group of teenage boys in our audience gave the film an ovation at its conclusion so it probably ticks all the boxes for its target audience.
But for us....
