frightening for all the wrong reasons

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2003)

Unfortunately I just saw this film. I don't want to put in a spoiler so I'll just say - recent events make watching this movie terrifying and spooky, mostly because of the film's use of location. One scene in particular today takes on new meaning. It's interesting how the minute you put something on film, you date it so that even a few years later, it has ramifications beyond its original intent. Watch this if you dare and you'll see what I mean. As an entry into the "Die Hard" series, it's very good - Bruce Willis is always attractive and can keep a film going, and Jeremy Irons is an excellent villain. But the real villain here is history.
