Real Talking Time:

We are back at Nakatomi Plaza: this film remains to be a modern-day classic; let's start with the cast: Bruce Willis as NYPD Detective John McClane: that has come to Los Angeles California to hopefully get to the point of reconciliation with his wife; Bonnie Bedelia as Holly Gennaro-McClane, a high-ranking Nakatomi executive and a strong lady in her own right. But unfortunately/luckily the Detective McClane is at the wrong time/right time to attempt to thwart this terrorist takeover of the building led by Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber: a highly intelligent, smartly dressed individual that under no circumstances should be taken lightly and finally Reginald VelJohnson as Al Powell, an LAPD Sergeant: that was on his way home to his pregnant wife before this entire situation kicked off, but becomes a support to Detective McClane and good friend as well.

From beginning to end this film doesn't stop; we have terrorists taking over the building Detective McClane showing he has a sense of humour; the cleanest example of the comedy I can use or adapt is where: he sends this dead terrorist down in the lift with a Christmas Santa Claus hat on with a message for Gruber. For the action and for one example Detective McClane gets annoyed on how things are currently going, so he decides to send a little gift down in the form of a computer, a chair with small wheels and oh yes did I forget to mention a lot of C4 dynamite, as Detective McClane is a man of action and consequently impact, there is one thing he didn't take the time to consider and that was the volume of amounts, so obviously it is quickly made up explosive device went off, but even Detective McClane had to somewhat had to jump for cover as the explosion went forward but also up back through.

This film was blessed with this cast with the names I have already mentioned and also including the names I haven't, with Willis establishing himself as the icon known as John McClane and not only that individually or together having Rickman going up against him, but also Rickman establishing himself as an performer to watch out for in the future as someone that as soon as his name is connected to the casting people would at minimum keep an eye on the project in question: but as Detective McClane and Gruber they just had perfect synergy, I mean this is one of those times in cinema history where all the stars align in perfect order to create this moment of time in history, culture, project and cast to create this modern-day classic that if you can you need to watch it at a cinema or if you have a cinema screen or equivalent of that at home I would recommend doing that, I would still recommend going to the cinema to get that authentic cinema experience regardless, because I can't tell you how much that I and the person that I watch some authors contend with enjoyed the whole experience even though we have seen this film plenty of times but this would be the first time on at the cinema.
