Die Hard


Die Hard is an action film starring Bruce Willis and is one of his more iconic roles as John McClane.  It is a great action film, which, while there aren't any major set pieces, contains a lot of intense gunfights and fighting scenes.  It takes a while for the film to find its stride and actually get into the midst of things, approximately 25 minutes actually.  John flies to Los Angeles to join up with his wife at a company Christmas party when a terrorist group attacks.  This isn't just any old terrorist group, they are focused, clever and well equipped.  John McClane pretty much ends up destroying their plan with his one-man army, showing his moves.  While there were some stunts that weren't too believable, the action and suspense doesn't die out, it builds into a crescendo in the climax.  What's surprising is that there were one funny one-liners which really helped make it more enjoyable.
