Everything about it works, and the characters are far more real (and sympathetic, even the thug played by Alexander Gudonov) than you typically find in this genre... or in any "popcorn flick," really. I miss well-made entertainments that aren't striving to be <i>epic</i>, but are simply <i>good</i>.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001416935247782462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-29466534299075568762011-09-19T15:26:32.161-04:002011-09-19T15:26:32.161-04:00I don't care much for Die Harder, but the othe...I don't care much for Die Harder, but the other two I love, mainly because of Rickman and Irons.
