Could easily have been a Die Hard movie

This has all the markings of a die hard movie. Bruce playing a no-nonsense-downbeat-beat up-tough guy who just doesnt give a $hit and a whole load of great one liners.

Just wathhed this for the first time today and dont know why the hell i waited 22 years to watch this. I was very apprehensive of the wayan guy acting in it (wayans brothers just suck IMO) but this is now one of my most favourite movies ever.

9/10 (the ratings should go up, this deserves at least a 7.7)

I will not tolerate Infestation !

This movie is better than the third & fourth "Die Hard" for sure, in a matter of fact the last two movies of the franchise i never consider cannon, Willis looks he's playing another character & the pacing didn't feel like a DH movie.

My Die Hard franchise:

Die Hard (1988) - 10/10
Die Hard 2 - Die Harder (1990) - 8/10
The Last Boy Scout - 9/10

I disagree. 4 is awesome, and no, I'm not trolling. I saw 2, 3, and 4 in the theaters, and looking forward to the next one. My sequence of preference is 4/1 ( Can't decide, though I've just seen the first one soooooooo many times), 3, 2. Though the Last Boy Scout was also great, I don;t really think it would fit as a Die Hard movie. Not enough mass destruction or large numbers of people put in danger like in the Die Hard films.

Ellen Page is so adorable, and I'd hit that harder than she was hit in An American Crime.

I wonder if this was kind of Bruce Willis' way of making up/apologizing to his fans for making movies like Bonfire of the Vanities and Hudson Hawk.

I would say
Die Hard
Die Harder
Die Hard with a Vengeance
The Last Boyscout

Die hard 4 and 5 don't feel like it.

Please stop reminding me that they ever released Die Hard 4 & 5. I keep trying to block them from my memory and pretend they never existed.
