In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing DIE HARD (1988), currently streaming on HBO Max. From a novel by Rodrick Thorp and directed by John McTiernan, the story follows John McClane (Bruce Willis), a NYC police officer who goes out to L.A. to try and mend fences with his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) and arrives at her office during her company's Christmas party. But Hans Gruber (Alan Rockman) and his pals have different ideas and the party goes south fast and its up to John to save the day - will he? The film is rated R and has a run time of 2 hours and 12 minutes. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
