Advantages: Good All Round Action Disadvantages: Over too quickly
Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman star in this Action Movie, the first of a pretty successful trilogy to date. Willis plays John Mclane, a New York Cop, visiting his estranged wife and kids in LA for Christmas. He unwittingly gets caught up in an audacious plan to rob a Japanese Bank of millions of dollars in bearer bonds.
Rickman plays the cool, sadistic leader of the gang who let nothing and no one stop them in their heist. The film is filled with ... ...Willis shows that he is more than a match for the 12 assorted Bad Guys. This film is a good one to watch on a Friday/Saturday Night with a beer (or coke) and a pizza and although it is part of a trilogy can be watched on its own and still enjoyed. ...

Bruce Willis stars in this classic action thriller. John McClane gets caught up in the middle of an LA building hostage situation, and so has to....save the day!
This is an all-time classic movie that is a great film to watch even now. The action then is tense and exciting and keeps you entralled throughout the length of the film. Bruce Willis plays the hero very well, and you do get the impression that he is in the situation for real. Alan Rickman ...

Advantages: Great special effects and brilliant characters Disadvantages: None that I can think of.
Great film about a group of people that take over a building because they want the money in their safe.
The only problem is they did not count on Bruce Willis, who is there for a Christmas Party.
He is brilliant and puts a spanner in the work on all occasions. He plays a brilliant role and you can't help but love him in this role. He ends up beating them and everybody has a Merry Christmas, apart from the baddies as they end up dead.
Great stunts ...

Advantages: every thing an acyion movie should have Disadvantages: none at all
...of you who have seen die hard you dont need any reviews to inform you on how briliantly briliant this film is, and you will probably have bought/buying already. So for all of you reading who havnt seen it and dont know why i am talking like this, here it is. Die hard is the king of the action movie genre, every action movie made at the moment wishes it was as good as die hard. This film was made 20 years ago and even though we have all these special ... ...Mr hard himself (Bruce Willis) its the story of one off duty cop aginst alot of very on duty terrorists. I dont want to give any thing else away, you will have to buy it and see the superiority of this film. It is my favourite film to date so if that doesnt persuade you i dont know what will. where am i??? ...

This film was released 2 years after i was born and is one of the greatest movies ever with plenty of action and humor in places,an absolute must have for any die hard veteran or newcomers to the die hard experience.
In my honest oppinion,well worth buying. ...

Advantages: Fantastic action, suspense and dialogue Disadvantages: The hero soes seem a little indestructible sometimes
This is the film that action films are measured against. It is the story of Jon Mclane, a cop with a mistaken initiation to a company Christmas party at his ex-wife’s office. As the party is in full swing it is gate-crashed by a group of 12 terrorists looking to rob the vaults and taking the revellers hostage. McLane makes his escape and that’s where the fun starts, as the terrorists try to hunt him down, and he battles to stay alive and free the ...

ok I think everyone on the planet has seen this film but I'd watch it again.
Bruce Willis stars in the action packed movie. Bruce is the big hero guy who just happens to be at his wife's workplace as terrorists take over and start killing as they try to steal from the vault. This film is a delight. It has a good plot, and good acting. It is well written with some great one liners and action tactics that make you really excited.
but if you love ...

Advantages: Bruce Willis - Cool as you like. Alan Rickman - Awesome as always Disadvantages: What?
It's like Die Hard - In a building. The story goes that this was how a new movie was pitched to a potential producer. After Die Hard came many other similar movies. Often copied but never equalled this movie shot Bruce Willis as Lt John McClane to super Stardom. I saw it first when I was a kid about 14. It absolutely blew me away. To this day I still love to take it off the shelf at some stage during the year(Usually around Christmas!) and give it ... ...no doubt about it. It showed that it was possible to be an action hero wiithout bursting out of your own chest on steroids. A hero who didn't just cut down the bad guys with unlimited ammo and invisible bullet proof vest. A real world hero that anyone could believe in and anyone could believe that they could be. I won't go into story/plot etc because you already know that part. Unless you've never seen this movie in which case, WTF? go and get it ...

Advantages: Extended scenes and previously deleted bits. Disadvantages: If you just like to watch the film the other disc is a waste.

John McClane travels to Los Angeles to patch things up with his wife. On turning up at her works christmas party finds out that it has already been gatecrashed by activists intent on stealing $600 million dollars in bonds!!
This dvd really does have it all, not only do you get the film, as great as it is, you also get a disc packed with extras. The first section is From The ... ...a selection of bloopers, outtakes, deleted and alternative scenes. The Newscasts is a collection of all the deleted or alternative VHS news reports that didn't make it into the film, there is also two magazine articles that were written about the film in American Cinematographer and Cinefex.
The next section is the Cutting Room, here you become the editor with a couple of scenes. Next comes The Interactive Slide Show, this is the normal still shots,but ...

Die hard staring Bruce Willis as the main cop, was THE film of my child hood. Because of it’s pointless rating that it was given (18). I didn’t get to see this film until a few years after it was released. So in that respect I missed out on the big craze about it but still when I finally got to see it, I realised for my self that it was (or is) a great film but is getting very out dated. The sequal to this film (Die hard 2) is also extremely good ...

Advantages: Excellent movie Disadvantages: quality sometimes not the best
...far better than the newest Die Hard which came out in 2007. This is nice way to look back at the good Hollywood action movies. Bruce Willis (with hair!!!) in his early days. Sometimes looks a bit funny today. But anyway this is a classic movie. I think that everyone should see this one.
The movie itself is a typical American action movie when a hero (this time Bruce Willis) rescues the world. A group of terrorists capture his wife as a hostage and ...
