Die Hard with a Vengeance


Die Hard with a Vengeance is the third movie in the Die Hard series.  As the title implies, the film has a revenge theme, in which the antagonist takes revenge upon John McClane.  The film starts off well, diving straight into the plot without much filler material to pad it out.  The police gets a call about a bomb that will be detonated unless John McClane is involved.  The antagonist then starts to give unreasonable physical demands and giving riddles.  It was interesting and kept things clever until the real motive is revealed halfway into the movie.  From then on, it returns to be the action packed film that is synonymous with the title.  It is this part where it feels that the film is padded to fill out the 128 minutes running time.  The vengeance theme gets lost and it becomes another predictable film.  While definitely better than Die Hard 2, it pales in comparison to the first.
