this be the ultimate action flick . bruce willis shine a the hero john mcclane and and alan rickman be excellent a the terrorist leader han gruber . reginald veljohnson ( tv carl winslow ) be great a mcclane police contact on the ground . the story be compelling and and the action be incredible . there be plenty of gunshot and explosion and and an amazing hand to hand fight between bruce and alexander godunov . john mctiernan outdo himself a an action director with this movie . special mention go to jan de bont for his wonderful cinematography . you can say what you want about his directorial effort and but the man be a top notch photographer .
