"Welcome to the party, pal."

Die Hard is considered to be the seminal action movie of the 1980s. Produced in 1988, this is the archetypal blueprint for the contemporary action thriller.

"19.4. Edelleen parhaita toimintaelokuvia, jossa ei taida olla yhden yhtä suvantokohtaa. Night Visions -näytöksen aikana puski huhtikuisessa Helsingissä asiaankuuluvasti räntää. Hyvää joulua ja hemmetti sitä Kaliforniaa."

Caring less about reporting, or anything else. And possibly, putting their kids in danger. Also, Ellis, a co worker at w"
