Last night I watched Live Free or Die on DVD (the film is in no way connected to the new Die Hard) and had an enjoyable enough time. The film seems to get better as it goes along and everything is tied together in a creative and not predictable way. The main problem I had was with the main character of Rugged. He is essentially playing the same character that Vincent Gallo played in Buffalo '66 but the filmmakers never let the audience get in anyway involved with him. It's all surface and one note. The best part, of course, was Paul Schneider as Lagrand. His character isn't all quite there and Schneider gets to steal every scene he is in. It was also nice to see Michael Rapaport is good in a low-key performance that explains itself as the movie progresses.

Here is the trailer for the film.
