Die Hard

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2013)

Released in 1988, Bruce Willis stars in one of the best action-thrillers to ever hit movies. Sure, it's become a built up franchise, but never forget where it started. Summary states: John McClane, officer of the NYPD, tries to save wife Holly Gennaro and several others, taken hostage by German terrorist Hans Gruber during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.
John McClane (Willis) makes his way to Los Angeles and while he is away from the party, a terrorist and his henchmen take over the Plaza, holding the party goers as hostages. Not knowing about McClane's existence, he is able to sneak around the building, fighting back against Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his men. John McClane becomes and iconic American movie figure. Suspenseful, witty.
Willis's and Rickman's performances are dynamic and rememberable!
