In reply to brikhaus. I think McTiernan's criminal conviction will prevent a studio hiring him (which is possibly why he hasn't made a major film since The 13th Warrior, if memory serves), but I'd love to see him have a crack at one of his early franchises (Predator Predator Predator Predator) just to get a foothold back into the industry. I agree, the "treasure hunt" narrative of this film makes it a better "rewatch" than the previous two, IMO, and the addition of Sam Jackson was a piece of casting genius.

In reply to Grog the Ginger. Thanks man! This is definitely one of the best of the bunch.

In reply to Wendell. If I was pushed to rank the first three, I'd go 1,3,2. Four and Five might as well not exist, in most respects.

I love this movie just as much, if not more than the original. It's a phenomenal film all the way around. And Jackson totally steals every scene he's in. Then again, so does Jeremy Irons. Great review. My recent post The Girl Week Blogathon: The Quick and the Dirties - Girl Power

Another spot on review, Rodney. I've always been a huge fan of this movie. Yes, the original is the best, but I find myself enjoying the 3rd movie just as much every time I watch it. In fact, there are few points (specifically the franticness of Simon-Says) where it surpasses the original. All in all a great film. I wonder if it would be possible to bring McTiernan back to direct the next (and hopefully last) Die Hard film? Maybe at least it could end on a high note.
