Die Hard
Still a superb film. The bench Mark for action movies back when they understood that less is more when you root for the hero and secretly also root for the villain just a tiny bit.
Bruce Willis is truly superb in the role... this was long before he started demanding huge paychecks to phone in sleepy performances.
Alan Rickman is magnificent, playing an intelligent man with a plan. It is actually a bit of a shame when he dies but it had to be really.
Downsides? Only the Deputy Chief of Police who is an absolute moron.
Other than that fairly minor blip, absolutely superb.
4.5/5
