Die Hard is not the kind of title that lures me into the theatre. But one day in a hotel room somewhere around the globe I came across a TV channel that showed one of the earlier Die Hard movies. I don’t remember which one it was. It played in New York City. The film was entertaining. I heard that Die Hard 4 had a new twist. Yesterday I needed some distraction from work and decide to watch Bruce Willis back in action as John McClane. Willis’s stunts defy the laws of physics, but the drama is pretty clever. A group of terrorists is shutting the entire country down by taking control of all U.S. major computer networks that underpin the digital economy.  Apparently, in the past few weeks we came close to a complete meltdown of the global financial system.  Against this backdrop, the film felt timely and scary.  Bruce Willis saves the day. In real life, one small town cop will not save the country from a systematic failure of the federal government.
