Bruce Willis is a great actor for these kind of rolls. die hard flix are some of my fav.
the original with Charles Bronson were so damn gritty at the time. In fact I bet they could not make a movie like that anymore. As a kid the rape scenes left scars on my brain. so brutal and graphic.
If the critics hate it and the audience likes it I normally like it too. I think the only reason we have movie critics is to justify all the stupid award show decisions.
