New York detective John McClane is back and kicking bad-guy butt in the third installment of this action-packed series, which finds him teaming with civilian Zeus Carver to prevent the loss of innocent lives. McClane thought he'd seen it all, until a genius named Simon engages McClane, his new "partner" -- and his beloved city -- in a deadly game that demands their concentration.

ok i actually understand the formula
the lack of care for the continuity is hilarious to me. definitely an interesting variation, and i enjoyed the action
would like to see a little more care for the actual plot 🤣
