Movie Review by Skye

Action movies have really never been my thing. Big explosions, loud music, screaming, etc. I just have never seen the point of it. Just recently a friend of mine talked me into seeing Live Free or Die Hard against my protest. Well, I am glad I took a chance. Not only did I enjoy this film, but I am re-exploring the action genre.
In Live Free, Bruce Willis plays his big, bad brawny self again, this time going against a cybertech bad guy geek who has decided to take down and hold hostage the computer infrastructure of the nation. It is an interesting and scary concept. Instead of holding people at ransom with a gun, this guy decides to hold computer networks. With the help of another geek-like techie, Willis goes on a mission to track down the villain and save the nation. Sure the story has some unbelievable missions and special action effects, but whatever. The story does not depend on them. It is more like the action accents the storyline, which is actually very well written. One of my favorite subplots is of the Warlock, I won't give away who plays him, but it was a fun, welcome addition.
I know there are action movies out there that are silly and as long as they time the explosion perfectly that is all the film depends on, but, just like every other genre, there are good and bad films within it, this is something I have learned and look forward to the next, good action film, this is one of the good ones.
