Amazon.com essential video
This seminal 1988 thriller made Bruce Willis a star and established a new template for action stories: "Terrorists take over a (blank), and a lone hero, unknown to the villains, is trapped with them." In Die Hard, those bad guys, led by the velvet-voiced Alan Rickman, assume control of a Los Angeles high-rise with Willis's visiting New York cop inside. The attraction of the film has as much to do with the sight of a barefoot mortal running around the guts of a modern office tower as it has to do with the plentiful fight sequences and the bond the hero establishes with an LA beat cop. Bonnie Bedelia plays Willis's wife, Hart Bochner is good as a brash hostage who tries negotiating his way to freedom, Alexander Godunov makes for a believable killer with lethal feet, and William Atherton is slimy as a busybody reporter. Exceptionally well directed by John McTiernan. --Tom Keogh

 Still enjoyable after all these years June 11, 2008
The movie itself still rocks. The Blu-Ray edition only has a lot of different commentaries for extras - no bloopers and deleted scenes, but it's still worth the money.
 The censored version of the movie June 10, 2008
I bought this in the hope that I'd be getting an unedited version of DIE HARD. I was disappointed to find that even the Region 1 version of this classic movie has had dialogue cropped out that I specifically remember being there in the VHS version of the same move. The most noticeable first scene where these crops turn up in the scene where John McLean arrives at the airport and in the original movie release says "F*N Californians", but in the edited version its just "California". It's a shame to see a classic movie like this wrecked and made into a "vanilla" version. I'd give 5 stars for the original version of the movie but 3 stars for this sad DVD effort.

I love Bruce Willis and anything that he is featured in. I am enjoying the video and thank Amazon and the vendor for their good service.
the guy at the wrong place at the wrong time...what more can you ask! June 2, 2008
Die Hard is the action movie that reinvented action. Before Die Hard there really wasn't any action heroes; I mean besides Rambo, Die hard created the Epitome of the new era of action. And this can be proven with the many imitations that followed Die Hard's success. Such titles include Speed (Die Hard on a bus) Under Siege (Die Hard on a boat) and Passenger 57 (Die Hard on a plane) all of these movies were made prior to the success of Die Hard
Die Hard's story is known by practically everyone. But for those who are unfamiliar here it goes. John McCLane is a New York Police Officer, he is on his way to Los Angeles to visit his wife and children to celebrate Christmas together...but there is something wrong, a group of professional terrorists...Or better say thieves are taking hostage of a whole building. And in this building McLane's wife is also among the group. The thieves are prepared and have everything planned out. They have weaponry, technology, and professional men...but there is one thing they weren't counting on...John McClane. He is in the building and ready to rock. Die hard till this day is one of the best and probably the best action movie ever made, and it's probably because it's a fresh story, we can relate to the character. He is a character who gets the job done but doesn't want to be there, he just does what he has to do because there is no other choice. And also we have someone who bleeds; we see every bruise, every cut. The character is human so it feels real. These are the qualities that make die hard till this day one of the best action movies of all time. This is a must own by all movie fans out there. "Yippee Cay-Yay.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 5 OUT OF 5
 incompetant June 1, 2008
They made the dialog so low and the sound effects so high, you can't listen to the dialog without having gun scenes disturb all your neighbors. You can't turn the gun sounds low without not being able to hear the dialog. Truly bad disc made unwatchable by poor picture and poor sound.
