Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)

Die Hard with a Vengeance marks a turning point for the series. Bruce Willis’ John McClane is starting to have a lot more in common with the typical invincible movie action heroes and less with the audience members watching him on the big screen. The setting is also a big departure from what we saw earlier: the action takes place in the entirety of New York rather than in an isolated location. That’s alright. It wouldn’t make sense for what we saw in Die Hard and Die Hard 2 to happen AGAIN. This movie’s trying something different and with the team up of Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, it's a refreshing change.

After a bomb is detonated in New York City, the man responsible, “Simon” (Jeremy Irons), gives the NYPD an ultimatum: John McClane (Willis) must follow a series of clues and riddles to disarm various explosives spread throughout the city. If he doesn't, more people will die. Helping McClane is Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), a civilian who tries to intervene and unwillingly becomes a player in this deadly game of “Simon Says”.

Directed by John McTiernan, the film feels like “Die Hard” in several ways and doesn’t in others. McClane still has his smart mouth and approaches the clues he has to unravel in unconventional ways. He might not be trapped in a building or an airport but he is forced to confront Simon, who has the city trapped. Jeremy Irons’ character also makes this feel like Die Hard because he’s a charismatic, intelligent foe whose initial plan hides something much bigger and grander. Another detail about him (I won't spoil it) ties this picture back to the first. It feels a bit contrived but assuming you buy it, the motivations all make sense.

At its weakest, Die Hard 3 falls prey to its own fantastic stunts. Even with McClane being a trained police officer and his “abilities” rubbing off on Zeus, there are some stunts here no one could survive in real life. They certainly make the film feel bigger than the first two but this also makes it feel too long. Don’t get me wrong. The action is great. You get car chases, time-sensitive puzzles, foot races, shootouts, hand-to-hand combat, explosions, narrow escapes, and more. It’s just that you look at this movie, you flashback to a few years prior when a lack of shoes was a big deal and it feels like that gap is too wide.

A large part of this film’s success is due to the performances, or rather the natural charisma of its leads. Willis has proven himself twice in the series already and he does so again. As mentioned before, Irons is great as a bad guy you love to hate. Finally, there’s Samuel L. Jackson. There’s immediate tension between Zeus and McClane. One of Zeus’ first lines has him tell his nephews to stay away from white people. Needless to say, he does not like the police. Now, these two are going to have to work together for the greater good. The back-and-forth dialogue as they argue while rushing to the clues Simon is giving them is filled with laughs and memorable one-liners. In many ways, this is exactly what you want when you hear Jackson is in a film.

Die Hard with s Vengeance is a good, but not great, third installment in the series. It doesn’t repeat what happened before but contains certain elements that make it feel similar. You won’t be watching it every December 25th but when it comes to the stunts, the laughs and the thrills, it satisfies plenty. (On Blu-ray, November 26, 2021)
