Not to be arrogant, but this film rules!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2004)

I'd say this film is the best in the world, but that would sound arrogant. So I will simply say this: Die Hard is brilliant. It defined the action movie, and came up with an original idea that could be stolen for many years to come by films such as Under Siege. John McClane (Willis) is trapped in a LA skyscraper with 12 terrorists and a heck of a lot of hostages.
Directed by hit-and-miss director John McTiernan, responsible for the likes of Predator and The Hunt for Red October, but blamable for bringing us Rollerball, this film shows style, coolness and a slightly tacky, sarcastic undertone that follows deep friendship, beating fears, and regrets.
I wish I could put this film on the podium it deserves, but I can't afford a podium, so I'll just be arrogant. This film is my favourite of all-time!
