Pros: An Excellent, High-Powered Action Masterpiece. Cons: None.
With the growing stale quality reveled in action films, it seems that action movies had lost a sense of humanity thanks in large part to the dull, machismo, muscle-bound characters that are being put into the movies. Add some expected explosions,...
Pros: pace, action scenes, acting Cons: occasionally too cartoonish
I can remember way back in 1988, a friend of mine telling me about this test screening he went to of the new Bruce Willis film. He described it as so awful, he didn't see how it would last beyond opening weekend. That movie was Die Hard ...

Joseph, my manager, booked me as a major entertainer on another tropical cruise this week, figuring it was the sort of restful gig I needed, after my harrowing ordeal in the rehabilitation center. I expected a private plane and pampered treatment out to...
Pros: Terrific screenplay, McTiernan's directing and fine performances by Willis, Bedelia, Rickman, et. al. Cons: Violent content and lots of profanity make this a just-for-grownups flick.
John McTiernan's star has been fading lately, but it shone like a supernova with 1988's Die Hard, a taut and exciting action thriller that made Bruce Willis an international star and began a trend of explosion-laden action thrillers that followed ...
Pros: lots of action, stunts, spawned a genre Cons: lots of blood, explosions and gore (pro or con - depending on the viewer)
1988. A year of milestones. This was the year in which we got married (I was a child bride, of course) and the year we purchased our very first VCR for Christmas. It was a Panasonic with the brand new revolutionary on screen programming!...

Pros: Action, humor and performances. Cons: This is Die Hard, no cons at all!
As far as action movies go, Die Hard may be the ultimate one of all time. Not necessarily the best mind you. But I can't think of any other film that mixes action, comedy and serious drama into a full package the way this one does and has the results...
Bruce Willis in Die Hard!!! This is the film that invented the "Die Hard On a..." formula, it is the original, the best. It is Die hard. In Die Hard Bruce Willis plays Detective John Mcclain, an NYPD officer heading to LA ...
Pros: The greatest action flick of the last twenty years Cons: .......
Well, with the release of the Die Hard Trilogy this week on DVD, I decided to take the time to review all three movies involved. Today will of course be about the original, and I’ll go ahead and follow up with the other two films in the next two days....

Pros: Lots 'o action. Nifty stunts and effects. Fun. Cons: A bit shallow. Willis low-rez acting style isn't for everyone. Violent.
I'm not sure now, (and I don't really feel like looking it up) but I believe "Die-Hard was Bruce Willis' "break-through" movie. That is, if not the very first movie he was ever in, at least the first one anybody ever noticed him in. I never noticed him ...
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 st...More at Family Video
