Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Taking his place among the ranks of British actors portraying baddies in Hollywood movies, Jeremy Irons plays a mad bomber with a score to settle in this third instalment of the Die Hard series. He keeps Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson on their toes with a set of "Simple Simon" tasks that give a high-speed 20th-century labours-of-Hercules twist to the plot. Whether solving riddles and mathematical puzzles or hurtling through Central Park in a taxi cab, Jackson and Willis make a testy duo, trading quips and insults at a pace that matches the breathless and sometimes over-the-top action. Returning to the fray after missing the first sequel, John McTiernan directs with a gleeful disregard for narrative logic, especially in the closing stages. It's cracking entertainment, though.
