Underrated Sequel!

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2004)

Die Hard 2 is every bit of fun as the first. The plot may be familiar to the first but it takes place at an Airport in Washington D.C. not at a 40 story building. This film is entertaining, the three characters that return are McClane and his wife Holly and Reginal Vel Johnson. The action is great and it never lets up. Fred Dalton Thompson is the Airport Manager under a lot of pressure and then there's Dennis Franz who seems to say one cuss word after another. The only cast member who I thought was miscast was John Amos even though he did a great job. Amos was more of a comic actor who was in "Coming to America" and appeared in an episode of "The Cosby Show." After seeing him in those, I had a hard time seeing him as a bad ass turncoat villain. His role should have been given to Bill Duke from the "Predator". That didn't stop this movie from being good. **** out of ****
