Yippee ki yay


Die Hard (1988)

Based on the novel “Nothing Lasts Forever” this film from director John McTiernan stars Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman and Bonnie Bedelia. During a Christmas Eve party a corporate tower is taken over by bad guys who do not plan for a lone New York policeman.

Many an action film made following this film has been compared to it and that is because the plot is pretty simplistic and easily replicated in a number of different locations/situations. The main draw of the film is the stunts which are impressive but fit with in the film rather than dominate it. While the script has some famous lines the plot is good enough but probably does not bare too much thinking about.

4/5
