My Second Favourite Die Hard Movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2015)

This is my second favourite "Die Hard" movie. I love it, and probably watch it more than the first (which is my favourite) mainly because it is a summer movie not a Christmas one.
Plot In A Paragraph: John McClane (Bruce Willis) is now almost an alcoholic and is suspended from the NYPD. But when a bomb goes off in a Department Store, a man named Simon (Jeremy Irons) calls, states it was him and asks for McClane. Simon says that McClane is going to play a game called "Simon Says". He says that McClane is going to do the tasks he assigns him. If not, he'll set off another bomb. With the help of Zeus (Samuel L Jackson) a Harlem electrician, McClane must race all over New York trying to figure out all the puzzles.
Samuel L. Jackson is a great addition to the cast, and has great chemistry with Willis, who is also in top form in his most famous role. It's nice to see Colleen Camp again, last time I seen her was in "Smokey & The Bandit 3" and the "Police Academy" sequels so it had been a while. Graham Greene and Larry Bryggman are good in their supporting roles.
It's not perfect, it's score is not up to standard and is a bit campy, some dodgy acting from a few people and the racist undertones stop it matching the original.
