"...remains one of the most entertaining and flat-out thrilling examples of the action genre..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

B-
"High-tech cartoonish action thriller."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

4/4
"For what it is, this is the top model -- flash, bang, and witty one-liners all included."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

5/5
"Die Hard is in many ways the perfectly constructed action film, combining interior tension with exterior explosions."  Netflix  James Rocchi

8/10
"...practically reinvented the action thriller, or at least resuscitated a moribund genre."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

4/4
"Oh, man! Is this a classic or what!"  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

5/5
"An oft imitated, yet never duplicated, masterpiece of popcorn action cinema."  Mike Bracken's Horror Films  Mike Bracken

"It may seem, in measure, that watching this in lieu of Frosty or Rudolph violates a practice during a holiday known and based on custom. However true, there is a discernable heart in Die Hard."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

"Marks the peak of the 1980's action boom that made mega-stars out of the likes of Ah-nuld, Stallone and Van Damme."  Movie Views  Ryan Cracknell

A-
"For an evening of edge-of-your-seat entertainment, you’d be hard pressed to do much better."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
