The 2nd best action film of all time

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2002)

Yes, I'm afraid it's the 2nd best action film of all time, in my opinion.
The best is "WHERE EAGLES DARE". but "DIE HARD" is not too far behind.
I agree with ever review that I have read on this site. It is a different kind of Action Thriller that other Directors can learn from. The original idea of John McClane being trapped in a huge building miles away from his hometown of New York, without his socks and shoes is a great idea and making him absolutely scared out of his wits is even better. A hero who is scared, doesn't think that he is hard but is, much the opposite of many a boring Hollywood Pic. Die Hard is one of the most original, entertaining, SUBTLE(something Hollywood can't seem to do, but excel here) and tense films ever.
