As an ardent action film lover, I usually won't like to miss a good action movie. When I found that this movie was highly acclaimed and even hailed the best action movie ever, I decided to give it a shot. DIE HARD is really a masterfully crafted action film which stays true to not just its genre and subject, but to all my expectations as well. It really deserves all the praise it has received in these years.
One of the most charming things about DIE HARD is its protagonist John McClane played excellently by Bruce Willis. No matter how greater the peril, the hero always stays cool and makes you like him even more. Believe me, John McClaine's character is the redefinition of heroism at its best and coolest!
The action is splendid. Every single action sequence is exciting, spectacular and worth watching again and again. There are a lot of intense moments which succeed in building and further holding the attention. The cinematography is also decent. Another great thing is that amidst all the action and thrill, the director has spared some time for natural humor and a lot of memorable one liners.
The screenplay is excellent and so is the editing. The film never seems to bore and holds the attention for the most part. Some bonds which the protagonist forms with supporting characters is a complete treat to watch. This is one film which you'll never regret watching again and again, given the powerful execution which has rendered it as a multiple-time watch.
There's no doubt why it's one of the greatest action movies of all time. I'll look forward to its sequels as well in future, but DIE HARD has actually caught my mind so hard that I'm gonna love and remember it forever.
