Better Then Most Action flicks Made in Hollywood Today

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2000)

Die Hard(1988) has a very good story line but what it does contain is a feeling of entrapment and some mind bogging action sequences. The one liners in this movie are very funny and done with a lot of style. What makes this movie interesting is the violent chess match between Bruce Willis's John and Alan Rickman's Hans. One thing I didn't understand about the film was why was the Japanese CEO killed and not tortured as he seemed willing to die in order for the terrorists to not get the information they wanted to know.

Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber is seen in the film as a very cultured and intelligent but dangerous person who is capable of anything. Die Hard along with Die Hard 2:Die Harder are not only the best in the Die Hard trilogy but also one of the best actions films of the 1980's. The protagonist is a complete and sympathetic character which is unusually for an action flick of this size. Die Hard(1988) and its sequel are films that many have worn out without having an understanding of what made the first two movies exciting and mesmerizing to watch.
