The film that changed the way films were made. Simply stunning.

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2004)

Die Hard, when it premiered, was a long shot movie. It had a actor who was not A-list, a villain no one had heard of, and a director who had some crazy ideas about how movies should be made. It set Hollywood on it's ear. No longer could action hero's run through their movies with bullets bouncing off them. They had to be real people with families that were there for more than just window dressing. At the end of this movie John McClane (Bruce Willis) has been shot, stabbed, beaten, battered, and bruised... and he looks it. He isn't the invincible hero, just a normal guy in a bad situation.
Now days most action movies are like that, but this was the first, and one of the best. Turn down the lights, get the popcorn, and get ready to tell the bad guys, yippee ki ay mother f....!
