Die Hard (1988)

A group of German robbers posing as terrorists takes a corporate building in Los Angeles on Christmas night and holds some party guests hostage. A NYPD officer whose wife works for the company is at the premises and saves the day despite the LAPD and FBI's incompetence and the greed of the press.

Extremely well-made thriller with obviously exaggerated criticism of press and police, and the usual background drama of an estranged couple's reconciliation. This is my second viewing, and I cannot exactly account for my previous low rating.

Rating: 65 (up from 49)
