I guess Die Hard
has achieved something close to classic status by now. It’s a beloved action
movie from the 80s (the heyday of big dumb action) with an up-and-coming movie
star that spawned four sequels and a catch phrase. Taking another look at it I’ve
found that it holds up well, but it’s certainly not great. It does just about
everything right and hardly missteps until the very last scene, I’d say.
