One of the most underestimated movies ever!

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2009)

This third part in the Die Hard series is in one word brilliant. It takes you on a ride through New York and the entire city is used as a background for non-stop action. The story, about a crazy bomber (Jeremy Irons) who wants to play a game of Simon Says with John McClane (Bruce Willis), provides an excellent framework for the numerous explosions and car chases. Especially the interaction between Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson, who plays a racist shopkeeper forced to help McClane, is probably the best ever seen in a movie. And Jeremy Irons as the German uber-villain is perfectly casted as well. The only bad thing in this movie is the ending (which REALLY is bad) but the rest of the movie more than makes up for it. It is by the way an alternate ending: the original ending was canceled by the producers because it was too violent, but can still be seen on the DVD or on youtube. So if you're looking for a completely over the top action movie: this is it!
