Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith Kindergarten cop out. | 10 | |
Die Burger Jeanne Hugo Verrassend vermaaklik. | 10 | |
Cape Times Kenneth Turan Willis has saving the world down to a fine art. | 10 | |
iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden Like the film itself, the buddy setup isn't a new idea. But when it works this well, we're the lucky ones. | 15 | |
Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 12 | |
The Citizen Peter Feldman it's a hard drive — if you like this escapist nonsense. | 12 | |
Sunday Times Barry Ronge It touches all the right bases for Die Hard fans, with that sly Willis charm intact, but it feels more like a rerun than a new film. | 10 | |
24.com Evert Lombaert An enjoyable if unremarkable return to the world of John McClane. Hey, at least it's better than the second movie. | 10 | |
Box Office Annlee Ellingson Nineteen years after the original, the Die Hard franchise, character and star hold up | 15 | |
