I admit that I do find a lot to like about Die Hard, however calling it the best action film in history is ridiculous. Most of what to like comes in the form of acting. Bruce Willis gives the best performance of his career and Alan Rickman makes a great if a bit over the top villain. In my mind Bruce is what makes the movie watchable. He is able to make the hero an everyman and is able to balance being a tough guy with showing his sensative side. Not to mention the amount of laughs he is able to create. Another positive is that for the most part the action is realistic which makes some of the scenes very thrilling. Man he was such a badass in this movie. However there is a lot to dislike in this film. For one the plot is nothing special to say the least. Another problem is that the police are portrayed as complete morons. I also felt that the film ended on a poor note. The showdown between Bruce and the villains in the end was goofy and what you would expect from any other action movie. In the end Bruce is the reason that Die Hard is as popular as it is. If Stallone or someone else had starred it would be extremely boring and just be another laughable action flic. The movie's plot is so uninspired I don't even think some other top of the line actors could have saved it. Bruce just happened to be the right man for this job. All in all "Die Hard" is an enjoyable film but I wouldn't call it must see entertainment.Get more detail about Die Hard [Blu-ray].
