This is the greatest action movie ever made and has been my favorite movie since I saw it over ten years ago. John McClane is definitely my favorite action hero. This is the movie that all other action movies are measured against. |

Bruce Willis' most classic movie: Die Hard. Exhilarating, entertaining. I know they've made 4 Die Hards and I hope they make four more! |

Review - Die Hard (1988) |
|
What better way is there to spend Christmas Eve than with your family in front of a warm fire, thinking about all the good times? Well, there is family involvement here, and a warm fire certainly, but there are no good times for Detective John McClane this Christmas in the action-packed gun-blazing Die Hard.
On Christmas Eve, during a Christmas party at a large business building in Los Angeles, a group of terrorists begin raising hell, and McClane, visiting his wife in the same building, takes it upon himself to put a stop to the violence. What accumulates is nothing but more adrenaline-pumping violence that never lets up.
It is so awesome in every conceivable way. That's really the one sentence I can use to describe this film. I'm not even sure what else to say, because that pretty... |

Die Hard |

The quintessential action movie. Bruce Willis plays John McClane (my personal favorite action hero), a cop that gets invited to a Christmas party when a terrorist takeover occurs. John is the only one to escape and through a clever bit of maneuvering, gets the help of the LAPD. Alan Rickman plays Hans Gruber, probably the best action movie villain ever. Unlike most action heroes of his time, John wasn't incredibly buff, not skilled in martial arts, or a combination of both. He's an everyman, who had everyday problems that we can all relate to. More importantly, unlike a lot of action movies released today, it didn't need to rely on a bunch of CGI to make it sell. It had a plot and fantastic acting, especially from Rickman. |

The eighties was the decade of the big blockbuster action flick - Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, Cobra, Commando etc. But one film outdoes them all and this is it Die Hard, the action sequences are superb and set the standard for everyone to follow. The premise is a good one and while not exactly realistic it provides a firm base for some rocking action.Our main hero John McLaine (Bruce Willis) is well drawn and manages to avoid falling into the cliché trap of some action hero's, a sub-plot with his estranged wife is given just the right amount of time to provide depth without spoiling the pacing of the movie or feeling tacked on. The other main relationships in this movie is equally well played with the one good cop on the outside John forms a bond through humour and necessity and the... |
