die hard in a sky scraper

Rating: Null/10 (19 September 1998)

This movie is undeniably an intense action roller-coaster. Hans Gruber and his group of "terrorists", seize control over the Nakatami corporations sky scraper to get their hands on the 600 million dollars worth of "stuff" in the Nakatami vault. This is on christmas eve, and God wouldn't let villains get away with that, would he? of course not, because New York cop John McClane, has come to visit his wife, who works for the Nakatami corp. The corporation is holding a party for its employees, and when the terrorists barge in on the party, McClane conveniently is out of sight in one of the offices. So you know what happens next, its a lone cops struggle against a pack of no good germans. The germans are of course stereotyped, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a sense for detail planning. In fact, the whole movie is all about stereotypes, the FBI agents are depicted as morons, the black cop outside is neglected by his superiors etc. Other than a few discusting features, Die Hard is good fun.
