Die Hard

Day 53

Film 44

Die Hard joins the ranks of big flashy fun movies that does not try and push itself beyond that. It aims to be a popcorn flick and it succeeds.

Die Hard follows Bruce Willis' fight against a racial hodgepodge of international terrorists/robbers. The plot is not that complex going from the intro directly into a sticky hostage situation and then having another one and a half hours of Bruce Willis kicking ass. The most interesting thing is that Rickman plays the villain, and he does it very well. My problem is I cannot get over the fact that Bruce Willis is in an epic battle between Severus Snape, the robot from Hitchhikers Guide and the spock ripoff in galaxy quest all balled into one psudoeuropean douche bag.

The movie is fun, and really grabs you and keeps you interested because beyond the explosions the characters have heart.
