probably the best of it's kind

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2005)

Die Hard is, in my opinion, the best all out action movie I have ever seen. What sets it apart is the great set up (keeping in mind that watching it today it will seem all too familiar because of all the imitators that came after - but Die Hard was the first), the great character of John McClane (Bruce Willis in the role that made him a MOVIE STAR) and the intense action. There is nothing like the wild scrambling of Bruce Willis as he tries to not only survive, but to save the hostages. And of course Alan Rickman is brilliant as the ringleader of the band of thieves.
