One of the best action films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2017)

Die Hard was released in 1988. It stars Bruce Willis (action giant Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered as well). It was directed by John McTiernan who previously directed Predator and would go on to direct The Hunt For Red October and Die Hard With A Vengeance. Bruce Willis is a great action hero. Not only is he able to kick ass but he is a real person that you can relate to. You like this guy and you care for him. Making the action more thrilling and suspenseful as you don't want him to die. The plot is nice and simple, giving the narrative a sense of claustrophobia as there is not much space to hide. Die Hard still holds up as a great, fun and suspenseful action film. It has great characters, a fun plot and amazing action scenes.
