Die Hard Fun

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2014)

The third film in the Die Hard franchise is the best one yet (though I still think Live Free or Die Hard is the epitome of dumb action movies). In this film, John McClane is sent on a goose chase through New York to stop a series of bombs to go off, all while the villain steals billions of dollars of gold. Teaming up with John is Zeus, played by Samuel L. Jackson, who helps give the film a more edgy buddy-cop feeling. Jackson does a fantastic job in his role and the chemistry between him and Willis is dynamite. The bad guy isn't too great, though he was definitely evil.
What really stands out here is the humor. Despite the tense plot, the movie is ridiculously funny.
It's a smart, fun, fast-paced thriller and definitely ten steps up from the disappointing Die Hard 2.
