Best Action Movie Ever

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2014)

Die Hard is unarguably the greatest "action" movie ever! Die Hard literally set the tone for action movies that followed: Under Siege, Sudden Death, Speed, Air Force One - you name it! If you're not a fan of action films, but have to see one, then my advise is to watch Die Hard because it contains almost everything you always wanted in a action movie - something other action movies are unable to provide.
The story is about a New York cop called "John McClane" (Bruce Willis), who is on his way to LA to meet his wife to patch some things up, but little does he know that there are a bad dozen or so criminals heading where he's heading (Nakatomi Plaza), and he has the toughest job in not only saving himself and taking on the bad guys, but also saving the hostages too, so the odds are heavily stacked against him.
For me, the best thing about the movie was the villain himself: Hans Gruber. He's probably right up there among the greatest movie villains of all time. Hans Gruber is a psychopath.
The movie has a great setting with a very good story, with plenty of action along with some "lightful" humour. Somehow, it just worked.
Die Hard is without doubt the greatest action movie of all time. Die Hard deserves a ten rating. You won't be disappointed that's for sure unless you hate action movies.
This movie was made in the eighties, and not during the nineties guys, which automatically makes Die Hard a unique film in itself since most of the best action movies was made all throughout the nineties. Despite that, none can take on the original Die Hard classic.
