The plot of Die Hart is modestly original in that a comedic actor wants change his persona and become an action star so he goes to action star school. It would probably be very funny if it were not for the swearing and sexual innuendos that is over the top which should make anyone with an ounce of moral fiber cringe. It’s hard to believe it’s the #6 film on Amazon which ought to give us a clue as to the state of our society. Unfortunately most modern producers still don’t have a clue that you don’t need excess swearing and vileness for a film to be funny and entertaining. In fact you may broaden you audience without it and make more money. Imagine that. At any rate I turned it off after only 15 or 20 minutes.

What's the Story?

In DIE HART, Kevin Hart decides he's sick of being the comedic sidekick in action movies. During the press tour for his sixth movie with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (who does not appear) he reveals his new professional goal. He wants to be the star. After a public meltdown, Hart is given one last chance to fulfill his action star ambitions, but first he must get into game shape by attending an action school run by the mercurial Ron Wilcox (John Travolta). While there, he faces off with the confident and beautiful rival classmate Jordan King (Nathalie Emmanuel).

Is It Any Good?

Quibi may just be the perfect platform for Kevin Hart's satirical action comedy. Nothing about Die Hart is extraordinary, but each episode is a set piece allows Hart to get in, mess around, make a few jokes, throw some self-effacing charm around, and get out just as quickly. Nobody's expecting any of the jokes to be all-timers, but the writing and performances are good enough to warrant a longer format. As something that's built to be an easy, low-commitment, comfort watch, Die Hart does the trick.
