Die Hard 2
One year after foiling the terrorist takeover of a high-rise office building in the first movie, McClane is waiting to pick up his wife at Dulles International Airport just outside Washington on Christmas Eve. Scheduled to arrive the same evening is Ramon Esperanza, a South American political figure who is being brought to the United States to stand trial for his role in a drug-smuggling ring. However, a group of terrorists, led by renegade American military officer Col. Stuart, take control of the airport, scuttling radio transmissions and placing their own men in the control tower. John McClaine tries to stop an elite commando group from kidnapping a big-Time drug dealer and taking him to the caribbean.

One might think a movie with a reported budget of $62 million would have had a few bucks to spend on a gaffe spotter.

The summer's best sequel and most satisfying blockbuster has finally arrived. Die Hard 2 is a blast.

A number of scenes have been staged with satisfying kinetic flair, and Willis once again makes an appealing superhero. Yet without that great big booby-trapped skyscraper to hold the action together, the suspense dissipates.

As vapid as it is violent.

Even in the action genre, there is such a thing as overkill. Die Hard 2: Die Harder pleads guilty to the charge but has enough redeeming plot twists to compensate for the excess.

This is the most cheerfully preposterous film of a jaw-dropping summer, which is not to say it's not fun, it's simply orchestrated Looney Tunes.

Even when the script wanders into cynical overkill, Harlin makes sure the violence has some impact, some moral consequence, by sketching in characters for a few representative victims.

Though it has an inventive and unexpected plot twist, Die Hard 2 lacks credibility. "Die Hard" was that rare modern action picture with a wholly believable plot.

Bruce Willis wonders aloud how it could happen to him again, but dons the white singlet anyway for this second hugely entertaining slice of action hokum.
April 03, 2015
The screenplay is precariously supported by the chips on John McClane's shoulders. Fortunately, it is also designed to Willis' unique specs.

Die Hard 2 delivers everything you'd expect from the title's promise. Trouble is, Die Hard 2 really didn't need to wallow in graphic violence to be a good, engaging picture.
April 03, 2015
The filmmakers seem to be operating under the assumption that the way you top a successful movie is by making one that's louder, cruder and more violent.
