Where to Watch Die Hard 2
- Doc WormDecember 29, 2025Attempts to be bigger and louder than the first film. In that regard- it mostly succeeds. It is however bloated and unruly. Things seem to happen a bit too conveniently. You’ll get whiplash from how quickly they move from one bombastic story beat to the next. Regardless of its many issues- it’s overall pretty fun. William Sadler doing naked tai chi in a hotel room was great. Oliver Wood’s cinematography paints the whole film in gritty shadow work that’s overall pretty pleasant to look at as well.
