Willis and Jackson shine!

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2007)

There are great buddy flicks out there - Mel Gibson and Danny Glover probably define the genre; and, there is plenty of action in all the Die Hard flicks, but this film combines both in a package that is a pure joy to watch. Bruce Willis (John McClane) and Samuel L. Jackson (Zeus) make an outstanding combination in a film that has non stop action as they try to catch the brother of Han Gruber (Die Hard), Simon (Jeremy Irons (Elizabeth I, Kingdom of Heaven).
McClane and Zeus stretch the limits of believability in taking a beating in this film. You just can't believe that McClane can even get up after his last beating, much less run and jump.
So, if you want to see two stars shine in an action vehicle with great dialog, this is your pick.
