Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors. Hudson Hawk was the 1st movie of his I ever saw and it’s one of my favorite movies. I grew up watching some of his other films: Armageddon, The Jackal, The Whole Nine Yards, Mercury Rising, Striking Distance, and 12 Monkeys. But I did not see the one movie that made him an international movie star when I was nineteen years old, and that movie is DIE HARD. This movie came out two months before I was born and as before, I never saw it till I was nineteen. Just watching him as this tough New York City police officer name John McClane, who flies to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedila) and soon finds himself in a tough situation when a group of European terrorists, led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), seize over an LA high rise, takes everybody from the 30th floor hostage including his wife, and steal $640 million in bearer bonds that are stored in the building’s vaults. Luckily, McClane escapes. Launches a one man war against the terrorists and has to figure out how save the hostages, and his wife, before it’s too late… Was Incredible to watch. I loved the humor of the film, the action, and the quotes: “Welcome to the party, Pal”; “Jesus Christ Powell, he could be an f**king bartender for all we know”, and the performances of Willis, Bedila, Rickman, Alexander Godunov, Reginald VelJohnson, and Paul Gleeson. There were two things I hate about this movie: William Atherton as the scumbag reporter Richard Thornburg and the scene where Godunov’s character shoots glass to trap McClane and ends up getting his feet cut very badly. Die Hard is without a doubt one of my favorite action movies and it’s a true classic for all movie lovers to see.
