One of the top 10 action movies of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2003)

'Die Hard', starring Bruce Willis(Striking Distance, the Sixth Sense) and Alan Rickman(Truly, Madly, Deeply, Dogma) would easily make one of the top 10, possibly top 5 action movies of all time. Set in LA at a Christmas party in the Nakatomi Plaza, John McClane,(Willis) a cop from New York, comes to see his wife, Holly, at a Christmas Party held at her work. They get off to a shaky start, arguing about their relationship, when only moments later, a truck arrives, holding 12 terrorists in the back. The lead terrorist, Hans Gruber(Rickman) leads his group of fellow German Terrorists into the building where the Christmas party is being held. Once there, they take all of the party guests, (with the exception of McClane) hostage, and then declare war.
From here, it is up to John McClane to save the lives of the 30 or so hostages and overpower twelve dangerous and money hungry terrorists.
I can definitely say wothout a doubt that this is one of the greatest movies of all time and one of my personal favourites! Bruce Willis is fantastic as the good cop from New York who turns up at the party by mistake, but the real show-stealer is Alan Rickman, who delivers an absolutely brilliant performance as the relentless yet classy bad guy.
I definitely recommend Die Hard to anybody who likes edge of your chair suspense with some humour!!! 10/10!!!
