My quick rating - 5.0/10. I never did check out the TV show on Roku, so I am going solely off of this flick, which I guess is the episodes edited into Die Hart: The Movie. Seems the latest trend for stars is to make a parody of themselves. There are far better examples of this happening lately after JCVD got the whole idea started.
This flick follows Kevin Hart's fictionalized journey to become an action movie star. The film revolves around his enrollment in a school run by Ron Wilcox (John Travolta), where he tries to learn the ins and outs of becoming an action hero. While the premise of the movie is interesting, the execution falls flat. The humor, which is Hart's forte, is present but fails to land in most scenes.
The action sequences lack the required punch and feel half-baked, which is quite disappointing for a movie that's supposed to be an action-comedy. The performances are mediocre, with Hart doing his best to carry the movie, but unfortunately, even his screen presence couldn't make up for the weak script. The supporting cast does an okay job, but aside from Jean Reno, they are mostly forgettable. The pacing of the movie is also off, and some scenes feel unnecessary and stretched out, while others seem rushed and underdeveloped.
The plot is predictable, and there are no real surprises or twists to keep the audience engaged. In conclusion, I just found this one to be a mediocre movie that fails to deliver on its promises. While it has its moments of humor and action, it's not enough to save it from being a forgettable film. I would only recommend it if you're a die-hard Kevin Hart fan or if you're looking for a mindless, time-passing movie while working (worked for me). And if so, may as well move on to Die Hart 2: Die Harter.

The movie is as bad as respectable budget film can be... the plot is just ridiculous and uninteresting.
The acting is not bad, far from it, but the characters are not inspiring. John Tavolta's acting is not bad as some reviews says; it's just that his character is a little crazy and goofy.
Hart's plays a version of himself that portraits him as weak and diminished, and that's not a good thing.
The cast made me believe this could be interesting but it's not the case... how can a movie with a cast like this can be so bad??
And the question which is bugging me: how the heck did this got a sequel???...

I found Die Hart to be reasonably funny. Not taking itself seriously and overall a decent light action comedy. I like the premise of the secret shooting and thought it worked well. It is by no means a great movie. But it's not supposed to be Oscar material. I thought Hart was good. Travolta was bordering on ridiculous , but just about pulls it off. There was a few funny scenes and twinned with the mysterious plot line was enough to keep my attention for the duration. Not by any means a bad movie. Light hearted and silly. So if that was the goal, it is a success. I see there is sequel on the horizon. I will tune in based on the original.
