Die Hard [Blu-ray] starring Bruce
Willis, Alan Rickman, Bonnie Bedelia,
Reginald VelJohnson, Paul Gleason
Best Of The Series. Period.
This seminal 1988 thriller made Bruce Willis a star and established a new
template for action stories: Terrorists take over a (blank), and a lone hero,
unknown to the villains, is trapped with them. In Die Hard, those bad guys,
led by the velvet-voiced Alan Rickman, assume control of a Los Angeles
high-rise with Williss visiting New York cop inside. The attraction of the film
has as much to do with the sight of a barefoot mortal running around the
guts of a modern office tower as it has to do with the plentiful fight
sequences and the bond the hero establishes with an LA beat cop. Bonnie
Bedelia plays Williss wife, Hart Bochner is good as a brash hostage who
tries negotiating his way to freedom, Alexander Godunov makes for a
believable killer with lethal feet, and William Atherton is slimy as a
busybody reporter. Exceptionally well directed by John McTiernan. --Tom

Undoubtedly the best of the 4 Die Hards and possibly the best action film
ever made! It is definately my favorite action film. John McClaine is
visiting his estranged wife at her office, the new Nakatomi building in Los
Angeles. The office is celebrating both Christmas and the opening of the
new building. Suddenly the building is invaded by what appear to be some
heavily armed and very high tech terrorists who seal off the building and
take all the employees prisoner. John, a New York cop realizes what is
happening and hides out in the empty part of the new building until he can
access the situation and forge a plan of action.
Against impossible odds, McClaine must save the hostages and convince
the unbelieving Los Angeles police department what is going on before the
terrorists can complete their evil plot. This is a movie that will have you
cheering out loud and cringing at the dangerous situations that keep
presenting themselves. There are alot of excellent supporting characters,
including Al the disgraced patrol car cop as well as probably one of the
suavest villians ever.
