One of the best action movies

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2013)

This is one of the best action movies ever made and it still holds up today. And influenced other action movies that came after it. This one really gives more of the everyday guy, someone you can relate with that gets put in a dire situation and must become of a badass. And he is a sarcastic guy that ticks off the bad guys and has punchlines but he is still a likable badass. He even gets bloodied up and bruised up during the process. Unlike those Steven Seagal movies where he hardly had a scratch after taking on dozens or even tons of bad guys. The build up is good and when the action kicks in, it's entertaining from start to finish. In fact this is probably the movie that really kick started Bruce Willis's career in the film industry as John McClane. The whole movie, well most of the action at least takes place within a tall building. And it's cool to see John McClane using every resource he has to fight the villains that takes over the building and holds onto hostages. And it's entertaining to see how everything plays out. Even the main villain Hans Gruber who is the leader of the pack played by Alan Rickman. He is this sophisticated and yet very methodical villain that keeps his cool no matter how bad the situation gets for his team. Overall this is a kickass action movie that has just about all the right elements to be engaging and entertaining movie.
8.8/10
