Die Hard 4.0 / Hitman / The Marine (DVD)

Triple bill of action thrillers. Bruce Willis reprises his role of John McClane - the everyday NY cop with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time - in 'Die Hard 4.0' (2007). Set in Washington DC, this fourth instalment of the franchise finds McClane being asked to bring in computer hacker Matt Farrell (Justin Long) for routine questioning. In transit, events overtake them as they witness a full-scale cyber attack on the country's infrastructure led by mystery attacker Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant), who plans to systematically shut down or destroy the nation's major networks over three days. With time running out, McClane and his hacker friend have to stop the mastermind before it is too late. 'Hitman' (2007) is a fast-paced thriller based on the computer game of the same name. A professional assassin known only as Agent 47 (Olyphant), hired by a group known only as 'The Agency', is ensnared in a political conspiracy which finds him on the run from both Interpol and the Russian FSB (successor to the KGB). The hunter becomes the hunted as he is chased across Eastern Europe while, at the same time, he tries to find out who set him up and why they're trying to take him out. John Cena stars in 'The Marine' (2006) as John Triton, an injured US Marine who returns home from duty only to have his wife kidnapped by a ruthless criminal. Robert Patrick co-stars as the villainous Rome, who is more than willing to kill if it means staying one step ahead of the law. With nothing left to lose and enough training to take down a small army, the hard-fighting Triton sets out to rescue his wife, and ensure that the psychotic Rome receives a painful taste of justice.
