United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Nothing on Len Wiseman's résumé (...) suggests that he could wrangle both Mr. Willis and this new film's nerve-jangling action to such satisfying effect"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The stunts are terrific fun (...) Hey, who needs realism in a summer popcorn movie? (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Either 'Live Free or Die Hard' will go down as the summer's best action blockbuster, or it's going to be one exceptional summer."	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"Sorry, boys. After two decades, the first film still does more with one skyscraper than 'Live Free or Die Hard' does with an entire country."	NEG
United States	Richard Corliss rogerebert.com	"In the middle of a summer season already exhausted with sequels depending too much on visual effects, here's a throwback to remind you what American movies can do best (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Willis has no trouble convincing that he’s still capable of handling heavy action"	POS
