    Frenetically unsubtle, and very bloody, action movie.

    DIE HARD 2

    ONE OF BRUCE'S BEST PERFORMANCES AND PARTS EVER PLAYED, HE SHINES THROUGH AS THE TRUE DIE HARD HERO.FINE PERFORMANCE ON WHICH MANY OF HIS MODERN CASTING PARTS WERE FIRST GROUNDED. WORTH THE SEEING IF YOU LIKE HARD MAN HERO'S.

    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Stands the test of time less well than D.H.1

    This is still a good movie and follows in the footsteps of 1 closely, but it does have a more contrived 'lets get another Die Hard out and cash in on the sucess of DH1' feel about it.

    The plot seems in a way similar but more thrown together, is less original and has more of an extended episode of the A-Team sort of atmosphere overall. Good, but Flat in comparison to DH1.
