Really good and entertaining. Bruce Willis' character is great.

1 of few movies that somehow gets better each time even w/ flawed edits. Each performer understood assignment. 1 of the best popcorn movies

The most action packed Christmas movie of all time and Alan Rickman's first film and boy did he make a good first impression. Yippee ki-yay.

An iconic hero & villain match wits as much as weaponry in this often-imitated action blueprint loaded with smart details. Yippee Ki-Yay MF!

Bruce Willis rules! The start of a great film career. He'll be missed, with his recent retirement.

All I have to say is yes, it’s a Christmas movie. If it wasn’t Christmas in the movie, some plot points just, wouldn’t happen.

Perfectly captures the simplicity and spirit of what a good action movie should be. And yes, it is a Christmas movie, stop arguing about it.

Most other action movies pale in comparison. Just big, dumb, loud fun.

Perfect movie to watch on Christmas time when you need a thrill.

Classic action flick. Debatable if it’s actually a Christmas movie.
