Um þessa kvikmynd

Facing Christmas 3,000 miles from his estranged wife and two children, New York policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) flies to Los Angeles bearing presents and hoping to patch up his marriage. Stylish and cool Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) is in Los Angeles as well for the holiday season, but he's not there to give out presents. He's there to take more than $600 million in negotiable bearer bonds from the multinational Nakatomi Corporation, where McClane's wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) is an executive. When the takeover becomes hostile, it's up to John McClane to take on the terrorists with all the grit and determination he can muster--but not without a sense of humor.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Die Hard is an action classic, Christmas Eve I think in Los Angeles and a group of terrorists seize control of the Nakatomi high rise building taking everyone in it basically hostage. All except one man who slips them unnoticed and escapes, New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis).... Then McClane takes out the terrorists one by one and saves his wife and the hostages at the end. Full of violence, explosions, bad language, some nudity.... Die Hard is a film that cannot be ignored.

The movie is amazing, as always, but I find unacceptable the lack of subtitles for a movie which already has subtitles in many other stores or (and this is the craziest thing) in many other countries from the GooglePlay Store itself! I hope they fix this because for me is not an issue but my girlfriend still needs subtitles to fully understand some movies... Google, please: do something!

Clearly one of the best examples of the genre - Launched Bruce Willis movie career and changed action movies forever. However the Google play version with just a stereo soundtrack and no UHD version is not doing it justice. Perfect to watch on a tablet or smartphone but not going to replace a DVD let alone 4K blu ray.
