As hard as they come by... or is it?

Rating: 7/10 (28 September 1999)

This is the first Bruce Willis movie I've seen. Is this really the benchmark for action movies? That's what I've heard and read but I really find that hard to believe. I had a lengthy discussion with a good friend who thought I was nuts or something, but naah, somehow somewhere I think Die Hard missed the appeal that was there in Lethal Weapon!
Die Hard is an OK action movie that could have been better if Willis were a little less reluctant and the bad guys looked like real bad guys. But anyway it was entertaining and nicely done. Some stunts were brilliant, but I'm not giving anything away! If you haven't seen it yet, you should now! Infact, I think even I'll watch it again! The way everyone's absolutely raving about the Die Hard series, I'm thinking I must've missed something!
Oomph!-meter (from 5): ***
