This terrific action movie is different but just as good as the original.

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2007)

John McClane (Bruce Willis) is waiting for his wife (Bonnie Bedelia) on the Dallas Internation Airport in Washington D.C. to land on Christmas Eve. When he spotted some strange people on the airport, then sooner than expected. John finds out that they are terrorist, lead by Colonel Stuart (William Sadler). Which they are trying to Hi-Jack to the airport. Which they want the Criminal General Roman Esperanza (Franco Nero) to land on the airport. Which these terrorists has shut off all the lights of the landing area to have control of the area. Which makes other planes difficult to them to land. Now John is racing against time to find these terrorist before it's too late. Which it will kill hundreds of people on the other different planes before they run out of fuel.
Directed by Renny Harlin (Cleaner, Cliffhanger, The Convenant) made an entertaining action sequel of the successful original. This was Harlin's first Big Budget film after his hugely successful independent film. Which it's "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4:The Dream Master", it's also the highest grossing "Nightmare" movie of the series. Harlin handles this picture like a pro with it's dynamic action sequences, a fast paced, a excellent cast of pros and amusing sense of humour. The special effects are certainly impressive. This was probably the most expansive movie of 1990. The supporting characters are less dumb than they were on the first "Die Hard" picture and it is extremely silly at times. But on the usual Summer Blockbusters, that's soon to be expected. It's the kind of movie, you will certainly enjoy if you don't expect logic too much. Based on the novel "58 Minutes" by the late Walter Wager. Screenplay by Steven E. de Souza (Commando, 48 Hrs, The Running Man) and Doug Richardson (Bad Boys, Hostage, Money Train). Panavision.
