God Maggie Q says it all: sexy voice sexy body computer savvy and is like a black belt in karate. Besides Colonel Stuart in Die Hard 2 she is the only villian to truly kick McClean's ass well Karl from Die Hard 1 really beat his ass too. Die hard 5 bad guy's were so lame and the Russian chick was pretty and pretty useless. She looked like a Russian mail order bride or hooker. In Die Hard 5 they risked their lives to save a piece of beep Russian guy who was going to backstab them anyway's. Maggie Q and Timothy Olyphant were excellent villians and Die Hard 5 didn't have a good physical fight scene like the other 4. It was refreshing to see a competent female villian and it was a great scene watching her destroy McClane, if she would have knocked him out Justin Long would have been dead.

Maggie Q and Timothy Olyphant were excellent villians
Wow!
Both were utterly pathetic. Timothy Olyphant was incredibly boring and too weak and boyish looking be considered a serious threat to Bruce Willis who seemed completely invincible. He didn't have any banter with Willis or even a single memorable line of dialogue.
As for Maggie Q, please! Destroy Mclane? Kick his ass? What? She did some phony looking kicking which had little effect, then was brutalized by Bruce Willis and thrown down an elevator shaft, then crushed by a car. The level of abuse she suffered far outweighed any "ass kicking" she did.
Those were just one of many things far wrong with this poor excuse for a film.
