One of the best action films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2017)

John McClane (Bruce Willis) a NYC cop is in California on Christmas Eve to see his wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and their kids. He attends a party at her company's lavish high-rise. The party is attacked and held hostage by a group of terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). McClane escapes but what can he do alone against a large group of terrorists?
Full of action, excitement, incredible stunts and tons of gunfights and fistfights. When you think about it the plot it's highly improbable but once the action kicks in you won't care. I saw this opening weekend when it came out in 1988. In first run theatres the Dolby stereo was turned up as loud as it could go. There were LOTS of gunfights and explosions in deafening stereo sound. It was GREAT! There's also great acting by Willis, Bedelia and Rickman. TONS of swearing too. A GREAT action flick. Highly recommended :)
