Well, car stunts plus a star like Bruce Willis equals a good action movie. It's been said by our friends, and by our foes: Movies plus cars equals America. 'Jesus,' says Matt, 'you killed a helicopter with a car!' McClane: 'I ran out of bullets.' and then McClane jumps in another car, speeds it up a makeshift ramp at the end of the tunnel and jumps out just in time to see it hit and demolish the low-flying chopper. then gets trapped in a tunnel full of cars speeding both ways and one car tumbling through the air directly at them, and they miss being killed because just as the car is to land on them, two other vehicles drive on either side of the guys and the hurtling car lands smack on top of the other two. This might have been after a sequence in which New York City Police Detective John McClane ( Bruce Willis), driving through Washington, D.C., with a nerdy hacker named Matt ( Justin Long) in custody, evades the bad guys' pursuing helicopter by crashing into a fire hydrant so that the force of the vertical spray knocks the chopper out of its flight pattern.

But about an hour into 'Live Free or Die Hard,' I scrawled in my notebook: 'Ah, American movies!' I'm not the sort of film critic who jots down ecstatic remarks during a screening.
