A terrorist blows up a clothes shop in Manhattan and demands to talk to police lieutenant McClane. He proposes a game with McClane, in which a series of tasks will be assigned to him. A shop owner in Harlem is forced to be his partner.
An overwhelming amount of images and situations, the film may be accurately called action-packed. Seductiveness walks side by side with emptiness, and we are led to ask: what is the meaning? Thus, the film's villain might be construed as an allegory of the film itself: it begs to be deciphered, it pretends to play a game with us, all it wants to do is steal two hours of our time.
