Fight hard; Die Hard
Die Hard (1988)

The legendary Die Hard tells the story of a man, who is in the wrong place in the wrong time. He needs to fight off the terrorists, avoid civilian casualties and survive from the police as well.

This is truly on the top of the 'Action' genre, an unique film with fun, easy-to-relate characters, good dialogue for an action movie, and not too many of the "funny, double meaning" one-liners. The setting in an office building works, some high money explosives and effects, as well as great doses of action. Not constant, but doses. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat for most of the time, with you rooting for the main character as it was meant to be. Watch out for the unlikely relationships that develop, and unknown flying objects.

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.

One of the classics!

Great Movie


magb

Within its own fictional reality and universe, Die Hard rarely goes overboard with the ridiculous action sequences. The only really bad set piece in terms of ridiculousness is the "firehose incident", and even that was more just funny than anything. Most of the best action movies are so good because of how they manage to keep their feet on the ground, and not just because of the over-the-top action. Die Hard is a prime example of that.


FitFortDanga

Very entertaining, well crafted, and defined clichés for a generation of action flicks. But much about it is annoying. All the "working class hero" stuff for one thing. The everyman cops have godlike intuitive abilities, but the clueless higher-ups are incompetent to an absurd degree. And the climax-after-the-climax is ridiculous, only to provide a rather weak character moment for someone we didn't care much about in the first place. It's a fantastically fun ride, but with some problems


Stain

Fun, clever action movie. If you're a big film nerd who always talks about art films, you're not supposed to enjoy this series, but I do
