An excellent modern 'boys own adventure' story.

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2012)

This is an action packed sequel to a modern boys own adventure story which is tightly packed with action from start to finish with rarely a dull moment at any point in the film. The action is tightly and superbly choreographed but often borders on the ridiculously implausible, nevertheless, Die Hard set the precedent for many films to follow, it invented non-stop action in a way. Whilst a great group of films, the criticism that I do have is that this may have become a certain family classic if it wasn't for the unnecessarily strong language that pervades throughout. The character of John Mclane has become a classic action figure which has been copied numerous times since.
