BLU-RAY DEBUT
Die Hard
director John McTiernan’s feature debut is an ’80s horror better bracketed with, say, Jacob’s Ladder than A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Pierce Brosnan plays a French anthropologist. Yes, he attempts the accent; yes, you may grit your teeth. The character dies a few moments in, with his story then unfolding in flashbacks – some from the point of view of an ER doctor (Lesley-Anne Down) who’s somehow acquired a head full of his memories.
