Great action film

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2013)

Like other great action films of the 80's/90's such as George Miller's Mad Max 2, James Cameron's Aliens and Terminator 2, and John McTiernan's other classic, Predator, Die Hard provides a no-nonsense story that delivers action in a tough and realistic manner, building a level of intensity without distracting the viewer away from the emotions of the characters and without insulting the viewer's intelligence.
Fast paced action with plenty of comic relief. Wasn't a fan of Bruce Willis before this film but he does a great job creating a likable hero-of-circumstance people can relate to and sympathize with. The rest of the cast are excellent as well, especially Alan Rickman. Must see film for action fans.
