Still A Great Action Film Even By Todays Standards!

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2007)

Die Hard (1988, Dir. John McTiernan)
New York City Detective John McClane has just arrived in Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his wife . Unfortunately, it is not going to be a Merry Christmas for everyone. A group of terrorists, led by Hans Gruber is holding everyone in the Nakatomi Plaza building hostage. With no way of anyone getting in or out, it's up to McClane to stop them all. All 12!
It's amazing to think that 'Die Hard' is almost twenty years old, and it's still one of the best action movies available today. The story doesn't become too complex and really easy to follow. The action starts off fairly quickly, with the terrorists arriving half an hour into the movie. There are a whole host of interesting characters which you would surely enjoy one of them. Alan Rickman plays one of the best villains to appear on screen. Action films are just not made like this anymore.
