Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2015)

so heres a career defining movie that made a star name out of Bruce Willis and changed the action man film forever as john mcteiernan made a reunion with his producers from predator who saw a book called nothing last forever about suspenseful story about terrorist and hostages so when they started looking for police office john McClain they saw a young Bruce Willis who as the character was a no nonsense sense of humour who didn't get technology so with his keen sense of what is going on so when he looks for his wife in nakatomi building he goes he accidental stumbles upon a heist of sorts and hides so with the ringleader and his Hench men after 650 million in bearer bond hands grubber played by a brilliant Alan rick man who looks scary and brilliant and menacing hey defined his movie career out of this so any way with McClain thinking about his idea to thwart the terrorist in the building hey goes to action as everyman but has no way of contacting the police on the outside In his battle to save his Holly, McClane is scorched, torched, beaten and blown up. He jumps off the roof and falls through air ducts. He uncovers deception and double-cross and picks broken glass out of his bare feet. No help comes from the naive and incompetent police, who are unable to get inside, and even less from the FBI. McClane is not a super cop. He is an ordinary guy, who doesn't want a fight. When he is shot, he bleeds. He hurts. All he has are his pants, his vest, his gun - which runs out of ammo. This is the first realistic connection the audience has. When you don't want to be in McClane's position, it makes for much excitement. John McTiernan, who's only previous mainstream movie was Predator, uses awesome photography and technical skills to give the film a truly polished and sophisticated look - it was nominated for four technical Academy Awards. He also allows for enough time for decent character development, most of which comes between McClane and a cop (Reginald Veljohnson) he makes friends with on a CB radio.
Die Hard manages to be heart-pounding and teeth-gritting every single time. And if you are one of those many people who have only ever been able to watch it on TV then now is definitely the time to rediscover a cool, classic and creative action picture.its hard to believe Richard gere was going to McClain its another Christmas film with difference 9/10
