Continuous suspense makes this movie a real masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2001)

Well yeah, I've seen this movie 3 times yet, and I even liked it the third time.
One of the reasons why I like it, is because the main character is not a godlike macho killer spreading bullets around and killing thousands of bad guys. He (Bruce Willis in his younger days) is just like the guy next door, put in a claustrophobic situation, which gives the whole movie a nice score on credibility. Not too bad for an action movie. Also, the plot is decorated with some cool one-liners and humorous situations.
Maybe the influence of this flick is much larger than one might expect. Lots of today's computer-games are based on "Die Hard"-alike action. The same weaponry, combat and so on.
Well, i can't exactly tell you why, but I really adore this movie. I guess that is because it's a perfect mix of humor, action and suspense. And even if it was made back in 1988, it still is a movie worth watching...
Let 's give it a 9 out of 10
