In the first half of Director John McTiernan's movie, Willis wears an undershirt. In the second half he gets rid of it. And that's pretty much it for his performance.
It gets your heart pounding, then makes you hate yourself for it.

Undoubtedly, it's dated in some respects, but as a pure actioner Die Hard remains timeless.

The best action-thriller of the 20th Century...Willis is THE Man~
| Original Score: 5/5
A serviceable if rather overextended and overblown adventure thriller.
San Francisco Examiner
A landmark action film.
| Original Score: 5/5
Die Hard is as high tech, rock hard and souped up as an action film can be.

An ingenious and ceaselessly self-renewing thriller that surpasses every seeming limitation.

...practically reinvented the action thriller, or at least resuscitated a moribund genre.
