Best of the best!

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 1999)

I saw this movie at a special preview showing about a month before it started its regular run. I remember standing in line and there were these two guys talking. One of them said, "Aw, man! Bruce Willis is in this?" Instead of popping him in the jaw like I should have, I just told him "Wait and see!" Needless to say, he was a converted fan at the end of what turned out to be the closest thing to perfection that an action movie can get! "Lethal Weapon", (another gem) set the tone for the buddy-cop movie but, "Die Hard" is now and forever more the best of the best action movies.
After achieving success on "Moonlighting" and with modest hit, "Blind Date" and the box-office bomb, "Sunset", Bruno scored a direct hit with what would become the start of something great. Even though "John McClane" has become less an everyman with each succeeding movie, the "Die Hard" series of films have given birth to many an imitation but, never a duplication. Rumor has it the fourth one is in the works - can't wait!
