Die Hard Ratings & Reviews
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
That's right, I'm saying it, loudly and proudly, since John McTiernan's 1988 action classic isn't just set at Christmastime-it embodies the very spirit of the holiday.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
The gold standard for action filmmaking; what action movie tropes Die Hard doesn't follow, it reinvents or altogether originates, and all of them have yet to be bettered.
Williamson Home Page
Cory Woodroof
Give Die Hard a fresh spin this year; it's the most joyous Christmas film of all!
Movie Bitches
Andrew Galdi
I really appreciated the interpersonal relationship between him and his wife. It wasn't slow but it was taking its time.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Die Hard is film's equivalent of a terrorist attack on your senses, but Willis' intensity and presence push it into guilty pleasure territory.
New York Daily News
Chris Chase
There are good performances from everyone in this long, often funny, very violent but exciting melodrama.
People Magazine
Peter Travers
Willis gleefully strips down the action movie to a pretend game for children who like to fire guns and shoot bad guys. Machismo may never be the same.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Die Hard is an action picture with a capital A. In fact, you might as well go ahead and capitalize the whole darn word.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
As a grand flourish of cinematic technique, it is awesome; as a human drama, it is disgusting and silly, a mindless depiction of carnage on an epic scale.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
McTiernan, who directed last summer's Predator, composes the action cleanly and logically, making good use of Jackson DeGovia's elaborate post-modernist set-the building becomes something of a character in itself.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
In the first half of Director John McTiernan's movie, Willis wears an undershirt. In the second half he gets rid of it. And that's pretty much it for his performance.
Variety
Variety Staff
Die Hard is as high tech, rock hard and souped up as an action film can be.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
A serviceable if rather overextended and overblown adventure thriller.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
An explosion-movie classic.
New York Times
Caryn James
The scenes move with such relentless energy and smashing special-effects extravagance that Die Hard turns out to be everything action-genre fans, and Bruce Willis's relieved investors, might have hoped for.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Bruce Willis discovered his movie legs in this superb action movie.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
For an evening of edge-of-your-seat entertainment, you'd be hard pressed to do much better.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It's good, dumb fun.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Inappropriate and wrongheaded interruptions reveal the fragile nature of the plot and prevent it from working.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
It gets your heart pounding, then makes you hate yourself for it.
