Review of Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) by Paul R — 18 Oct 2013
It's only on this most recent watch that I've realised Die Hard With a Vengeance's true greatness. First of all here is a third parter that doesn't suffer the third parter curse of being an utter disaster. It also mangabeys to surpass the second film in merit (although I do have a big soft spot for the relentless action trash that is Die Hard 2).
Everyone's favourite cop, John McLane is back in this big and bold third parter. This film follows the recipe that made the first a success. Some fantastic character interaction between our leads, enough action and explosions to keep the audience more than occupied and a quality bad guy. This time round a rather menacing Jeremy Irons gives a splendidly sinister performance.
Yes there's a few over the top moments and a couple of unnecessary and almost redundant characters but this is a very solid sequel to one of the best Action films ever made.
