Exciting!

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 1999)

Die Hard is one hell of a ride. You've got terrorists, machine guns, buildings being blown up, and in the middle is Bruce Willis dodging glass and lead. What makes Die Hard so much fun is the way it builds. It starts out slow, lets you get to know the characters, then the action starts, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. Alan Rickman is great as Hans. He is calm, cool, and he is smart. The effects work is first rate, and if you have this on laser or DVD, turn it up. Those guys at THX remastered this film for this purpose, to blow your speakers away!
