Got to catch the flick the other day, liked it, a good romp, some scenes are
a little over the top, but, it is an action flick but one scene with the plane seemed
TOO much to believe, I'll not elaborate for those that haven't seen it yet.
On other forums that review films, I read they were upset that the use of bad
language was missing from this film, that it makes the film, for me, just the opposite.
Their argument was there are people getting killed, so why tone down the
language?
My argument to that is, some of those people needed to be killed, they were
"bad men" so the "good guys" really didn't have a choice in how to fight back
but, they do have a choice not to resort to foul language just for effect.
My youngest daughter, now 15, I wince when I watch a movie with bad
language when she's with me. Where the violence, when required is understandable/expected,
I'm not talking about the slasher movie stuff, but action films like the die hard series.
So this one will be one that I'll buy for the collection.
just my 2 cents, I recommend the movie if you like a good action flick, it did
make me wonder just how safe our country is from terrorist though!

- Bruce Willis is one of the nicest, most generous "stars" you could ever hope to meet. My son worked with Bruce on "16 Blocks" and Willis - and director Richard Donner - treated him like family. I've written for enough entertainers to know that what you see on the screen or in interviews is often nothing like how that person is in real life. He doesn't like the term, but in our family, Willis really is a star.)
