I saw this movie immediately after I saw the 1st one. Once again, Bruce Willis as John McClane takes on a group of military terrorists, led by a psychotic colonel (William Sadler), who take over Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport, to rescue a drug baron South American general (Franco Nero) from ever entering trial. I was surprised that Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea, The Long Kiss Good Night) was the man who directed this movie that featured a lot of familiar faces from Dennis Franz (TV’s N.Y.P.D. Blue) who plays the inept airport police chief Lorenzo, Fred Dalton Thompson as Trudeau, John Amos as the stubborn anti-terrorist Major Grant, and Robert Patrick (Terminator 2); John Leguizamo (Ice Age); and Vondie Curtis-Hall (TV’s Chicago Hope) as members of Sadler’s terrorist group. I also liked Tom Bower’s performance as the mild-mannered, WWII veteran, airport janitor Marvin. And like the first one, I hated seeing William Atherton as the scumbag reporter Richard Thornburg. Die Hard 2: Die Harder is a very entertaining sequel with lots of great action sequences from start to finish.
