pixelburp wrote: » I mentioned it more because it better took the low stakes, confined-locale premise of Die Hard than the 4th and 5th films of the actual franchise. Those went big, McClane turning into a superhero, when they should have stayed small, let McClane stay a cop. No, it's not an especially memorable film beyond that, and wouldn't wax lyrical at all - but it understood how to mine a tense narrative out of something as simple as "travel 16 Blocks of NY", than the kind of executive driven "uh, Dir Hard goes to Russia. More explosions! Jai Courtnay must happen!" crap that drove the progenitor off a cliff. So I'd recommend it more as a comparison piece than some hidden classic. It's not the latter at all.

Every character is paper thin, the entire film is just cliche after cliche. You would be far better of watching wages of fear or sorcerer

Really interesting view of how life on a big farm is too. When I hear farmers complaining about the weather, I have a bit of an insight now as to why.
