- “Live Free or Die Hard†opens in theaters TODAY, giving it almost a full week’s jump on “Transformers†and a couple day’s head start on Pixar’s new rat-toon as well. All 3 films have merit, and should amoung for some big biz at theaters over the coming week, but it’s Die Hard that’s got us the most excited — This is arguably the biggest budgeted film in which Kevin has ever appeared, and a very high profile role (though a much smaller part than last year’s “Catch and Releaseâ€). Seeing Kevin share the screen not only with Bruce Willis, but with him in his famous McClane persona, is a true treat. The original “Die Hard†remains a Christmastime fave for these webmasters, and one of those films that you just can’t seem to turn off when you come across it during your channel surfing. Both the sequels have innovative action and are unique films in their own right. Reviews for this installment have been quite positive, especially from the big names like The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. They not only liked the film, but both had very nice things to say about Mr. Smith’s performance:
“…Any doubts about how seriously pic is intended are dispelled in the third act with the arrival of Kevin “Clerks†Smith as the ultimate high-tech geek who humorously handles an overload of exposition and helps close the noose around Gabriel and his misguided cohorts.†[VARIETY]
“…The most amusing casting belongs to filmmaker/Web site proprietor Kevin Smith, who turns up as a master hacker who never leaves his basement but might possess a key to taking Gabriel down.†[HOLLYWOOD REPORTER]
Congratulations to Kevin on the kudos regarding the role — The clips we’ve seen of the basement scene, as well as the tasty action bits, make this one a must-see and certainly one of the best roller coaster rides of the summer. We’ll see you out there — Enjoy the movie!
