"You an American?" "Only if New Jersey counts"

All I can say is WOW....OK, I lied, I can say more.
Die Hard is one of those movies that is all good action and a good plot: something very rarely seen in the action genre, but it does exist apparently.
NYPD Officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) is in L.A. visiting his wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) at her office for a party. However, a band of European terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) soon storm the place and take everyone hostage, except for McClane. Its up to McClane to stop the terrorists and save the hostages.
Acting-wise, everyone should have gotten an award for their part. Not a single weak performance here, also no unlikable characters, you pretty much appreciate everyone.
Willis' character was the best by far. He was funny, skilled and there was no way you couldn't like him or at least get a laugh or two out of his comments or sneaky tactics.
There is plenty of action along with enough background to adequately cover everyone's motives. There are many great scenes too. You will not feel like you wasted your time watching Die Hard.
10/10
