Better than most action movies,

This review is from: Die Hard [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Die Hard (1988)Action, Thriller, 131 minutes Directed by John McTiernan Starring Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman and Reginald VelJohnson Nominated for four technical Oscars, Die Hard is one of the movies from this list which fun to watch without having any real substance or profound message. It's a guilty pleasure. The plot is predictable and simple. A gang of terrorists, led by Hans Gruber (Rickman) decides to take hostages in a high-rise building while attempting to steal bonds from the vault. John McClane (Willis) is on vacation to visit his estranged wife and she's one of the hostages. McClane makes a base on the upper floors and tries to pick off the gang one at a time. His only contact is a radio link with a police officer (VelJohnson). This movie is pure action with a little suspense. Do you think McClane will succeed? Like I said, it's predictable. But Willis plays this role well. Complete with one-liners and a recurring catchphrase, the four-movie franchise is extremely corny. Somehow it doesn't matter because it's fun. Sometimes I like to watch something where I don't have to ponder the plot and guess what will happen next. If you just want some mindless entertainment with good acting and decent execution, Die Hard fits the bill.

My fave out of the Die Hard series...,
This review is from: Die Hard (Piège de Cristal) (DVD)
What draws me into this movie are the villains. I enjoy a good villain and Hans Gruber is it. He almost makes you wish he'd defeat John McLain and get away with the $$$. Gotta give props to gorgeous Fritz (Hans Buhringer), along with Carl (Alexander G.). The villains are stand-outs, just as they were in The Road Warrior.
