Die Hard With A Vengeance

Superhero cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) returns in DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE. Freshly expelled from the NYPD, McClane encounters a number of threatening phone calls from a terrorist calling himself Simon (Jeremy Irons). Simon tests McClane's wits, and allows him the chance to stop each bomb by solving a riddle. In addition to using his previously learned anti-terrorism tactics (DIE HARD, DIE HARD 2), McClane enlists an angry store clerk, Zeus (Samuel L. Jackson) to decipher Simon's tricky enigmas.


DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE finds director John McTiernan returning to the creative helm of the series he began in 1987 (Renny Harlin directed DIE HARD 2). For the third film in the detonative series, McTiernan creates a story line which floats from psycho terror to sonic action to interracial comedy relief. The acting is something to be marvelled at as well. Bruce Willis miraculously evokes sympathy whilst playing the angry police man and Jeremy Irons' performance as the villainous Simon is reminiscent of an Eastern European James Bond megalomaniac. Samuel L. Jackson's is also worth mentioning as he gives an angry discourse in racism and then pops off one liners, both ice cold and slick.

    Joining the rapidly swelling ranks of British actors portraying baddies in 1990s Hollywood movies, Jeremy Irons plays a mad bomber with a score to settle in this third instalment of the Die Hard series. He keeps Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson on their toes with a set of “Simple Simon” tasks that give a high-speed 20th-century labours-of-Hercules twist to the plot. Whether solving riddles and mathematical puzzles or hurtling along crowded pavements in a taxi cab, Jackson and Willis make a testy duo, trading quips and insults at a pace that matches the breathless and sometimes over-the-top action. Returning to the fray after missing the first sequel, John McTiernan directs with a gleeful disregard for narrative logic, especially in the closing stages. It's cracking entertainment, though.

  • A sequel that abandons the formula of a lone cop battling against overwhelming odds in an isolated situation, substituting something closer to the Lethal Weapon films, with an edgy, racially tinged relationship at its centre, a convoluted, confusin

    Best of the trilogy

    This is without a doubt the best of the three. Some very nice plot twists with this time Bruce Willis co starring as the action hero with Samuel L Jackson. A mysterious criminal is placing bombs all round New York hiding there location with mysterious riddles that only Bruce Willis and his new unwilling sidekick must solve before they go off; but the mysterious european criminal is not all he seems...pulling the shroud over the NYPD to make his real task much easier.
