Die Hard

CriticsCritics: 83
AudienceAudience: 8.3

An off-duty New York cop visits Los Angeles during the holidays, only to find a skyscraper seized by armed criminals and its occupants held hostage. Alone inside the building, he must rely on his wits and resourcefulness to survive and become the hostages’ best hope.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like tense, fast-moving action, a resourceful everyday hero, sharp humor, and a memorable clash with a cunning adversary; Not for you if you prefer gentle, low-violence stories.
