REVIEWS:

"A great part of the film's appeal is in watching the down-and-dirty
cop match wits with the aloof master criminal. .... The final action
sequence is not surprising, as F.B.I. helicopters buzz the rooftop
and McClane [Bruce Willis] swings down the side of the high-rise and
crashes through a window. But 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."
