...McClane has-in addition-a bad relationship with his daughter, which the movie eventually repairs, and a funny one with Farrell, who emerges from his first car chase complaining of a skinned knee and a potential asthma attack. Naturally, Farrell toughens up considerably by the time the last fireball blasts past his ear. Could the movie have used a few more grumbly witticisms from McClane? Absolutely.
