Years ago I watched a heavily- edited version of this grade-Z-copy of "Die Hard". Has Michael Pare on the lead, and I've never thought much of his films- but I must say that I liked this one! Reasons for this: The setting: yes, I'm a sucker for "claustrophobic action". The directing: considering the budget the guy does wonders with lights, slo-mo- action and a few cool angles to squeeze every bit of juice out of a poor plot. Okay, so maybe he borrows his share and then some from guys like J. McTiernan, but so what? So do plot and the sta... ahem, ACTORS.

Well alright; also the "actors" do an okay job- SLIGHTLY above the average (that is, in B-movie terms). Besides, it's kind of funny to see Danny Trejo in one of his earliest roles!

On a tie with Van Damme's "Sudden death". Would have beated it had the plot been better (they could have also added in a couple more bad guys).

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
