“...A villain fresh from the Royal Shakespeare Company, a thug from the Bolshoi Ballet and a hero who carries with him the smirks and wisecracks that helped make Moonlighting a television hit. The strange thing is, it works: DIE HARD is exceedingly stupid, but escapist fun.” —Caryn James, New York Times (1988) “Only the hardest of hearts could fail to enjoy the great 80s action classic…with uproarious explosions, deafening shootouts and smart-alec tag lines following the bad guys getting shot.” —Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
