What I lack in real life badass attitude I make up with, well, watching badass movies. I was a kid when my father watched the first legendary Die Hard movie back in the 1980s, and I instantly became a fan. It features the timeless Bruce Willis fighting against organized criminals in a hotel setup on a Christmas party!
The action, the tension, and the witty screenplay blended together to create an addicting movie that effortlessly became a fan favorite. I still watch it to this day and reacted with the same vigor each and every time. Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber, Severus Snape), the villain, was so effective at being the villainest I respected him as much as McCane. I mean, take a look at this quote:
Holly Gennero McClane: After all your posturing, all your little speeches, you're nothing but a common thief.
Hans Gruber: I am an exceptional thief, Mrs. McClane. And since I'm moving up to kidnapping, you should be more polite.
E.P.I.C.
So, fast forward this Valentine's Day and Die Hard hits its 5th installment A Good Day to Die Hard. Would I trade a candle-lit and very expensive dinner date for this? Yes, I would. Would I rate this higher than Iron Man 3 or Man of Steel? Of course. I've waited 5 long years since the film's last offering Die Hard 4.0.
The premise (from Wikipedia):
When John McClane's son Jack gets into trouble while in Russia, McClane travels to Moscow to help him out, only to get caught up in a terrorist plot involving the circumstances behind his son's arrest.
Looking forward.
