Movie Description
One of the greatest action movies of the late 1980s, DIE HARD ushered in a new standard for the genre. With the dissolution of the Cold War, both the stereotypical Russian threat (represented in movies such as TOP GUN and RED DAWN) and the destructive egoist (as seen in OCTOPUSSY) became less fearful. With DIE HARD, director John McTiernan introduced Hollywood to a new type of villain: the terrorist entrepreneur. Alan Rickman stars as Hans Gruber, a relentless businessman whose lethal tactics achieve his goals. Unlike most '80s film villains who committed globally dangerous acts for liberty, genocide, or megalomania, DIE HARD's Gruber uses guns, explosives, and cunning to storm the Takagi Corporation's Christmas party and heist millions of dollars from the company. In addition, DIE HARD also saw the development of the clumsy or bad luck hero with John McClane (Bruce Willis), a man in the wrong place at the wrong time who chooses to intervene. Action fans would see this misfit hero archetype again in UNDER SIEGE (Steven Segal) and THE PHANTOM MENACE (Jar Jar Binks). Although DIE HARD contains many action movie cliches (one-liners, pyrotechnics), it also broke new ground in its genre.

Entertainment Weekly - Robin F. Schwartz (11/12/1999)

"...It works....Relentless energy and smashing special-effects extravagance..."
New York Times - Caryn James (07/15/1988)

"...A triumph of well-oiled mechanical precision that performs miracles of destruction. As a grand flourish of cinematic technique, it is awesome..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (07/15/1988)

"...DIE HARD is still the definitive action thriller. Alan Rickman delivers a deliciously ruthless Hollywood debut at the eloquent villain..."
Total Film - Nev Pierce (06/01/2000)

"A seductive mix of machismo and humility, Willis reinvented the reluctant hero for the action age."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (04/01/2004)

      One of the best action movies ever

    If you love action and excitement this is the movie for you!!!

    Quite possibly the absolute best Action Movie ever made. Bruce Willis is absolutely killer as John McClane.

    The supporting cast is great, the action scenes are innovative and action packed, and the plot is superb.

    John McClane is my favorite action hero of all-time and if you haven't seen Die Hard, he will be yours the second you do.

    Die Hard is the best movie in the Trilogy, but it's so hard to rank the Diehard films because they are all so spectacular.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: Definitely buy this movie, but buy it with the other 2 in the box set and save yourself some money.

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
