A popcorn action flick that thoroughly entertains if not subjected to analysis. A man in the police force visits Los Angeles to see his wife at a party in a skyscraper but finds himself pitted against a pack of men who take the building over to get what they want, either violently or non-violently. Kewl stunts and good one-liners pep this baby up not to mention the gunfights and explosives that are your staple for this kind of film. Bruce Willis stars as McClane whose fear-lessness energizes you as you take in his many efforts to stop Hans (Alan Rickman) who really is the most interesting character in DIE HARD. Willis gains in popularity as McClane stars in a series of these soon to follow. [4.1 stars]
