A little bit Western. A little bit disaster movie. A little bit thriller. A whole lotta action.
Movies, let alone action movies, don't come better than this. It's funny, it's tense, it's beautifully photographed, and it is explosive.
But what sets Die Hard apart from others in its genre is the attention to detail the filmmakers have. The characterizations are superb; there are no two-dimensional stereotypes here (ok, a few...but they serve a purpose). Almost every character gets to do or say something cool, and the villains are the best to come out of the Hollywood pipe...well, ever!
Words don't do it justice. But this is perhaps the most influential movie to come out of Hollywood since Star Wars, and with good reason. It changed the way Hollywood, and people, looked at action movies. And it will probably never be surpassed.
It gets a 10. Accept no substitutes.
Yippee-Ki-Yay!
