Die Hard (1) (Reviewed by Chuck)

3/4 stars

I know I'm a little behind the times here, I have never seen Die Hard 1, all the way through before - just bits and pieces.

NYC cop, John McClain, arrives in L.A, to attend a Christmas Party with his estranged wife - at her employers office tower. While - at the same time - terrorists are on their way to hi-jack the building and steal company bearer bonds, lots of them.


The ClearPlay Experience.
After 2 hours, I was sad that the wacky adventures of Indiana McClane were over. Yes it was loud, exaggerated, and chocked full of profanity, but I was having a great time.

Die Hard (1) (Rated R) - with ClearPlay shields at maximum - has a common sense rating of PG-13. I don't have any reservations about letting my kids watch this after they are 13+. I was left with a bloodless, profanity-free & excessively violent-free thrill ride, with some automatic weapon dog fights scattered through out the 2nd and 3rd act.

Yes, it sounds strange to say it was a good movie without all the elements that one would think would make the movie exciting, but how McClane continues to outsmart the terrorists is where the fun is, not watching blood spatter or hearing someone rattle off the f-bomb in a witty manor. Fans of the show know the John McClane one-liner I'm talking about.

Put another one in the victory column for ClearPlay!


Die Hard (1): ClearPlay, is PG-13 for:
Dead bodies and Violence (multiple instances of semi and fully automatic weapon use, gun fights, fisticuffs, and explosions.)
