The Rip-Off: The Die Hard Mix and Match Movie

First off, this trailer loses points for breaking the SoulHonky 10 year rule. Renny Harlin can only be considered "the director of..." films he's made in the last decade (on the bright side, "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and "Cutthroat Island" are also off of his record). So this film is brought to you by the director of: Cleaner, The Covenant, Exorcist: The Beginning, Mindhunters, Driven, or Deep Blue Sea. Personally, I'd go with The Covenant and Mindhunters.

However, I might give them a pass if this film is what it seems to be and is a rip-off of all films Die Hard. Look at the trailer, you have a plot that is basically straight out of Die Hard with a Vengeance. Two scenes (the elevator and the house exploding) that were done before in Die Hard on a Bus (aka Speed). You have a lead actor in John Cena who is probably hope he can become the next Steven Seagal, star of Die Hard on a Boat (aka Under Siege). The villain, played by The Wire's Aiden Gillen, looks like a mix of Speed's Dennis Hopper and Die Hard's Alan Rickman. Some of the action scenes look about as believable as Live Free or Die Hard.

So, without further ado, the latest film from the director of The Covenant and the producer of 10,000 BC... 12 Rounds
