Die Hard Movie Review

 

Die Hard is arguably the greatest Christmas movie of all time, yes it is a Christmas movie and you can't change my mind. Die Hard is pure action and Bruce Willis plays the main character John McClane perfectly. His action movie skills coupled with his care free and chill persona create a character that you have to get behind.

You can't mention Die Hard without talking about Hans Gruber played by Alan Rickman. Rickman went above and beyond when playing this roll. Whenever I watch a movie the villain role is a part that can make or break the movie. I always refer to Batman when Heath Ledger played the joker, that movie is great for many reasons but the Joker performance elevated that movie to a different level. Rickman played a vilian that seemed so heartless yet his plans were well thought out and executed.

Die Hard is without a doubt one of my favorite movies. The action alone can carry this film to the top of my list but what makes it stand out is the roles played by Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. These actors went above and beyond to create characters that the audience either loved or hated. The films story is well thought out and never disappoints.
