A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD [2013]

Like father like son.
Director John Moore resorts to the tired cliche of estranged son teams up with father only to find they have much more in common than they thought, in the fifth Die Hard film, A Good Day To Die Hard.
I counted one scene that got me giddy with brainless excitement and the rest of the film felt like a good time to nap had it not been for the excessive noise.  Moore removes any form of wit, fun or character from the previous films and replaces it with dull, vapid dialogue and flashy but soulless action sequences.
