176: : Review of the original “Die Hard” – Greatest Christmas Movie of All Time?

Game of Crimes

Some say the original “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie, maybe the best Christmas movie of all time. Others say it’s an action movie portrayed during the Christmas time frame. What do you think? Murph and his former Game of Crimes co-host and co-creator, Morgan Wright, critiqued the original “Die Hard” movie with Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman back in December 2021, on their Patreon channel, Patreon.com/GameOfCrimes. And to bring some authenticity to this review, they invited retired LAPD SWAT Officer Rick Massa to join them. This trio’s conversation is filled with light-hearted humor, nostalgia, and an appreciation for the film's impact on pop culture. They discuss weapons featured in the movie, tactical errors, hostage negotiation, believability of the actors, and even Rick’s culinary creations as a chef. While having a good time, these guys reflect on the film's legacy and its impact on the action genre, emphasizing the blend of entertainment and realism.
