The Greatest Action Film Of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2016)

It's very rare to come across an action movie that doesn't use the formula that die hard created or to come across an action movie that's as good as die hard. I'd like to thank director John McTiernan and screenwriters Jeb Stuart and Steven E de Souza for giving us the perfect 80's action film. Die hard is based on a novel called "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorp.
Bruce Willis plays John McClane a new York cop going to Los Angeles for Christmas to see his wife, Holly. During a Christmas party at the nakatomi plaza, a group of German terrorists led by Hans Gruber played by Alan Rickman take hostages and McClane is the only one that can stop them.
The performances in this movie are great. Bruce Willis as John McClane is perfect. He is a very believable police officer. Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber steals every scene he's in. He is one of, if not the greatest action movie villain of all time. Holly Gennaro McClane is played by Bonnie Bedelia and she's very good in the film. Reginald VelJohnson plays Sgt. AL Powell, an LAPD officer who communicates with McClane through the use of a radio. He's great character with a great ark. Paul Gleason is Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson and he's quite good as well. William Atherton plays a news reporter named Richard Thornburg who's a total tool. Hart Bochner plays Ellis. He's great in the movie. James Shigeta is Mr Takagi the owner of the nakatomi plaza. Karl is played by Alexander Godunov, who's very good. The limo driver named Argyle is played by De'voreaux White. He's a great supporting character.
This movie is perfect in every way possible, the acting, the directing, the amazing action, the cinematography by Jan de Bont, the dialogue, the setting, the editing, and the soundtrack are all perfect. This is one of the greatest movies ever made.
