Yippee Ki-yay Moviegoers !!

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2019)

What is there not to love about this film. An ordinary cop, goes to his estranged wife's Christmas Work Party, and gets caught up with a load of bad guys all in real time (well maybe not the airport time, but thereafter) !
The beginning is a little slow, the bad guys don't make their grand entrance until 22mins , but as with most films, it is setting things up for later. When is gets going the pace of the rest of the film (around another 1hr 40mins) is pretty non stop and doesn't drag at all.
Willis puts in a great performance. Very believable acting, with a full range of emotions.... happiness, anger, hatred, despair, love and tears all in two hours.
Rickman puts in quite a threatening and comical performance, and his character has an array of henchmen at his disposal.
Well acted and we'll paced, gritty with a smuttered of light relief from leads and often the supporting cast in the shape of Sgt Powell and his far less competent superiors.
Withstands multiple viewings. An all round excellent film, but is it a Christmas film ?? The debate will go on ;)
