Oh goody, another bloody Die Hard clone. After what happened
last time with Skyscraper, not to mention how listless so many of the others
have been like Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, I should be outright dreading this.
There’s only so many ways to do this story properly, and it seems like no-one
working today has found any of them.
Or I would be
saying that, were it not for the fact that this latest effort was courtesy of
Point Grey Pictures, a studio I have come to rely on for some genuinely good
comedy. From The Disaster Artist to the Bad Neighbours films, even Blockers
from earlier this year, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg sure do know how to back
the right productions. And quite honestly, this follows in that pattern.
