A very exciting and original plot

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2016)

This film was always on my IMDb watchlist. The only other Die Hard film I had watched was Die Hard 4.0 which was a very average film with a more than understandable plot and the phrase 'action-packed' being an understatement. Nevertheless, given the IMDb rating of this film, I was intrigued by the film.
Overall, the plot more or less acts as a template for further Die Hard movies. The start sets up the rest of the film really well. The film does well at going into depth of certain characters.
The plot makes it scintillating and tense for the viewer to watch, leaving you constantly asking what is going to happen next. Bruce Willis basically plays Bruce Willis but I suppose the performance that really stole the show was the late Alan Rickman as the cunning and clever Hans Gruber. His performance was fantastic. His performance was incredibly convincing.
This film is a must-watch! 8/10
