Die Hard, in every way

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2007)

I have seen this movie 4 times, or was it 5, 6? I have lost the count. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I could watch it again and still enjoy it as much as I've did the first time. Talk about die hard!
This is without any doubt one of the best action movies of all times. Action is delivered in perfect doses, not too little, not too much. The special effects have stood the test of time. And the main character is just one of the best anti-heroes ever. He really is the right man at the most wrong place and time that could ever be conceived, and this produces a set of awe- inspiring fireworks. And he is a man of flesh and blood, not some invulnerable superhero. We can feel his pain as he gets battered and bruised, but still struggles on. There's some friendship, some love (and lots of hate), but not in such amounts that it distracts or becomes unrealistic. It's all just so well dosed that it seems like the perfect entertainment treatment.
