• Die Hard directed by John McTiernan (1988)

  [9/10]

  "You can watch Die Hard over and over and still get a pleasant thrill with each viewing."

• Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang directed by Shane Black (2006)

  [5/10]

  "Individual scenes did make me laugh, but no synergy takes place between the noir and parody elements to make Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang more than a well-made, well-intentioned curiosity."

• Last Boy Scout, The directed by Tony Scott (1991)

  [4/10]

  "The Last Boy Scout tries to look like a Die Hard movie but never quite delivers a satisfying stream of action."

• Lethal Weapon directed by Richard Donner (1987)

  [7/10]

  "The characters, plot, and action all mesh effortlessly. Most action movies sacrifice plot and characterization for the sake of action, but Lethal Weapon balances its action with a logical plot that truly demonstrates a need for the use of lethal force."

• V for Vendetta directed by James McTeigue (2006)

  [8/10]

  "The twisting and engaging story line more than makes up for the 'comic book' characters, and director JamesMcTeigue displays an excellent balance of mystery, suspense, and violence."

  Average score: 6.60
