brilliant kick-ass adventure!

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2004)

"Die Hard" is quite simply brilliant. It has a feel of "rightness" about it. It has the right plot, the right cast, the right script, and above all the right mixture of action and wise-cracking one-liners. The idea of having terrorists take hostages in a 30 storey building was a passageway for Bruce Willis to play the part he was born for. He is on top form here, in, personally, still his best film. He delivers the superb one-liners to perfection and "yippie-kai-yay" is famous world-wide. The action scenes suit Willis down to the bone. Also, Alan Rickman flawlessly plays the baddie. He made his character believable (and the German accent wasn't that bad). I would definately recommend this to anyone. Even people who don't like action films must be hard pressed not to be won over by the charisma and downright coolness of John Mclane. Die Hard rules.
