Summary

RATING: R for pervasive language including sex references

Starring Aaron Stanford, Paul Schneider, Michael Rapaport, Kevin Dunn, Zooey Deschanel, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Judah Friedlander, and Peter Anthony Tambakis

Taking its title from the state motto of New Hampshire, Live Free or Die is a deadpan comedy about a clueless, aspiring criminal named John "Rugged" Rudgate (Stanford). (ThinkFilm)

Boston Globe Ty Burr

This isn't a great movie -- it's barely good, really -- but it gets something about New Hampshire I've rarely seen onscreen: a defiant pride in the way things don't work out. Live Free is a comedy of vastly diminished criminal expectations. That's the fun of it, and the frustration, too.

Film Threat Don R. Lewis

Live Free or Die is a low-fi farce that technically works. But in the end it feels like a pale version of say "Raising Arizona" or even "After Hours."

Variety Joe Leydon

Criminally short on laughs as it tries to wring humor from dull activity by dim bulbs.

ok ,not the best ,worth watching if you like the die hard films not as good as the other oneslook like they were just looking to make another film to make money there was action and violence

Jared C. gave it a10:
Pretty fun, only if you've watched Live free or Die Hard.

[Anonymous] gave it a6:
To say that the movie is action packed is an understatement. I felt legitimately tired afterwards. I did laugh a few times, but a lot of jokes felt forced. It felt a little sacreligious to have so many computer effects from a movie where Willis is the anti-technology hero, but it didn't kill it. I had heard of a firesale before, and to see it in effect was cool, but the reason was a little stretched. Anyways, I would have seen it just for Maggie Q. If she was the lead villain, I would have given it an 8.
