A film like a well-worked pro wrestling match or thrilling boxing fight. The protagonist is forever on the ropes, the villain strong, focussed and capable. The real sense of precariousness gives the contrasted euphoria of the accumulating Face comebacks all the more potency.

Aside from a half-baked romance story, Die Hard manages to perfectly combine action suspense and Christmas sentimentality like no other film has yet achieved.

Simplicity can be a fantastic ally in the right circumstances. Die Hard is simple... and all the better for it. By not going over the top, the threat is treated with the appropriate degree of seriousness and helps us identify with McClain's attempts to save the day. It also helps that the interaction between Willis and Rickman are good enough to be their own movie.

Rewatching it, I stand by my view that it's very good but not great as an action film. Willis is a wonderful hero, Rickman is an excellent villain, there are plenty of explosions and gunfights, and the plot has some intelligence and nuance. Where it really shines, and what I didn't appreciate as a kid is the humor and pessimistic view of human society and institutions. Sadly, as incompetent, stupid, and vicious as they portray the LAPD, FBI, and media...we now know the reality is much worse.
