Ode To Joy

Bruce Willis generally puts out at least one big, servicable action movie wherein he plays Bruce Willis: Unflappable Actio Hero of a Certain Age amid whatever pyrotechnic scenario the filmmakers have opted to place him in. Sometimes, they decide to call his character John McClane so it can qualify as a "Die Hard" sequel (both "Hostage" and "Tears of The Sun" were at one point supposed to be "Die Hards," for example.) Here's another one:



Eh, look okay. The thing you can't deny is that Willis is just GOOD at this schtick: Stunt/weary "seriously?" face/quip. It works. The "007" line is cute, but apparently it's in reference to McClane's grownup son who's some kind of spy/soldier/agent in this, likely setting up a "cute" modern gov-trained operator versus oldschool cop dynamic.
