Reinvented Action!!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2008)

One of the most important movies in the action genre.There is probably no one who hasn't heard of Die Hard and John McClane-one of the big daddies of action.I have heard all kinds of stories about this movie.In my country for example people were waiting in lines half a day to get tickets and see this masterpiece pretty much like The Godfather before it.Until then most movies here were Russian which by definition means bad movies.So by the late 80s this was one of the grand movies and people were shocked and thrilled by the sudden quality change in films.This is the movie that turned Bruce Willis into an international star and introduced an action hero who unlike Arnold and Sly isn't a superhuman but a more ordinary guy who is just at the wrong place at the wrong time.He uses his head and harsh language to come up with solutions to nasty situations.And Willis's McClane is one of the coolest and toughest guys on film.Everything about this guy rocks.He gave a whole new look to action heroes.He doesn't give a crap about no one and always keeps his promises.Alan Rickman is a great,intelligent and memorable villain-a real threat to our boy.The action is spectacular and gives a new definition of 1 guy vs many guys.A advice you to immediately watch this everlasting masterpiece if you haven't already and see what all the fuzz is about.
