Directed by: John McTiernan
Starring: Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, Bonnie Bedelia.
First review of the year and I thought I should start it with a big bang. Die Hard is one of the best action films ever and stars a young Bruce Willis as John McClane, a New York cop who goes to Los Angeles to fix things up with his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia). Once inside the Nakatomi building (Holly's workplace) he finds himself involved in a hostage situation.
Terrorists, led by Hans Gruber (the excellent actor Alan Rickman), take over the building and tell everyone that they want fellow terrorists released or else.
It's up to John McClane to save the day...
After killing a few terrorists, McClane finds out that they're actually just theives trying to get the millions of dollars worth of bearer bonds.
All the actions scenes are very well directed and the dialogue between the terrorists and the hostages is well thought out.
The acting throughout the film is constantly excellent, especially when Hans Gruber is caught by McClane and changes his accent to American, pretending to be a hostage.
This is an English guy playing a German terrorist doing an American accent. That's talent.
The special effects in the film are great. The explosions are constant and the blood effects are great. For it's time, this film was awesome and it still is.
This classic should be how all action movies should be.
