Die Hard 2 (1990)

★★★1/2

John McClane is back and this time he’s keeping his feet on the ground, unfortunately a group of rogue terrorists seize control of Dulles Airport and threaten to blow up planes if their needs aren’t met. Their needs are to secure a safe and easy transfer of a rogue South American general. Now McClane must find a way to stop the terrorists before the planes start dropping like flies, the only problem is, he is met with a very stubborn airport security division. Despite the fact that this film is way hammier with one-liners and they constantly allude back to the original, I found it to be very thrilling and exciting. McClane does what he does best and I expected nothing more, although it may seem a little long… it does make it feel like John really has the odds against him.
