A Good Day to Die Hard was about as good as anyone expected a film from John "Max Payne" Moore to be, failing to make the most of Bruce Willis, who frankly looks bored and preoccupied for almost the entire runtime. The film's poorly-staged action, forgettable characters and so on are one thing, but the film's nonsensical climax is another, in which the only villain still standing, sexy Russian Irina, decides to commit suicide by steering her helicopter straight into a building that John McClane and his son Jack inside. So, the kamikaze attack kills them and that's the end of it, right? Wrong. John being the resourceful SOB that he is, simply jumps out of a window to safety, with his son following suit. From a staging and basic logic perspective, it makes no sense: why would she so foolishly end her own life when her intended targets had such an easy escape route in plain sight? I'm not saying diving several stories into a pool is the most pleasant way to prolong your life, but it was pretty foreseeable.
