A decent story for the sequel

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2013)

New York cop John McClane, meeting his wife off the plane for a snowy Christmas, finds the airport beset by terrorists, and is uniquely placed to challenge their threat.
A sequel followed two years after the unexpected success of John McClane's first outing, and seeks to revisit much of the same territory, albeit one has to give it credit for dressing the action up in drastically different clothes. The airport setting, the snowy winter environment, the nature of the threat, and the twists in the story are all highly enjoyable and, once again, Bruce Willis plays the dirty-vested everyman with commitment and credibility.
Episode 2 isn't as good as episode 1, but it is still a pretty good film.
