Finally, we get our "motherfucker." For those who chuckled at the chaste ad campaign for this suddenly PG-13 franchise — didn't the first film feature a guy doing blow and then getting shot point-blank in the head? It's not like we're talking about Narnia here — and its "Yippee ky yay, Mo…" bus posters, you can finally enjoy your John McClane catchphrase free of lame censorship. Oh, and you also get some blood in a movie where people frequently get shot. Is that too much to ask? What exactly are you saving us from, Fox?

But, hey, you can't quibble when Live Free succeeds in bringing back Bruce Willis's beleaguered hero in a completely convincing and unembarrassing way. He could have used a better villain — how do you follow Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons with a pissy Timothy Olyphant? — but he's got a good comic sidekick in Justin Long, and a suitable Bonny Bedelia stand-in with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. And then there's the action…and it's here where the Unrated disc shows its stuff. Remember the end of the first movie when McClane looked like he had been dragged through a swimming pool filled with blood and burnt tires? Die Hard has always been a bloody franchise, so the cleaned-up deaths of the latest theatrical version just seem somehow off. Although even the extended version makes it clear that Len Wiseman is a much slicker director than, say, John McTiernan, giving his Die Hard a distinct look and feel that doesn't quite mesh with the others (although, like Die Hard: With a Vengeance, it happily removes McClane from claustrophobic settings and gets him out and about).

As far as special features, Live Free's main attraction is probably Willis himself joining Wiseman for a feature-length commentary. He also squats down with cameo-king Kevin Smith for an impromptu chat on a studio backlot — Willis is relaxed and funny (seems like Smith would have that effect on a lot of people).

Oh, and the rated version is included as well, for you people who like your violence family-friendly.
