4 stars (Very Good) The first of the Die Hard series and the best, this is kept simple and gritty, with the story propelled forward at a consistent pace and with all the requisite action elements (and a never-die performance by Willis). Yippie-Kai-Yay! ~Tom H

2 stars (Good Try) 25 years on and the film looks pretty ordinary. The acting all round is pretty mediocre with the exception of Alan Rickman. ~Tubbs
