I'm probably going to end up contradicting myself a few times before I get to the end of this review. I say that only because of all the praise I gave to the first Die Hard in part 1 of the Die Hard Tetralogy review. No matter. Die Hard with a Vengeance is very close to being the best action movie from the 90's and is even arguably the best action movie ever made. "What about the Maxtrx?!?!?!" Yeah, have fun with your CGI and Acting Bot Model KR. Action movies probably peaked with Die Hard With a Vengeance.
You know your plot is done a little too well when you start getting calls from the FBI because it's a bit too realistic. Unlike the second Die Hard, this one goes back to the fundamentals that made the first Die Hard Tetralogy DVD such a good movie. I'll try to leave enough of the plot out so I won't ruin it for those of you who are too young to watch rated R movies, because this should be required viewing when you get old enough. Hell, even my mom likes this movie. Anyway, there's a guy named Simon (played by Jeremy Irons) who starts setting off a bomb in a New York City department store. That was only to get the attention of the NYPD, which he calls and starts a game of Simon Says, particularly with Lt. John McClane (who is actually a police officer on the police force (service if you've seen Hot Fuzz) within the city the movie takes place for the first time in the Tetralogy). McClane, however, is at a very low point in his life. His wife Holly left him, he's on suspension from the NYPD, and on this day, he's nursing a particularly bad hangover.
