John McTiernan returned to direct this third entry that sees Bruce Willis returning as Police Officer John McClane, who is suspended from the force and separated from his wife. To make things worse for poor John, he is the target of retribution by terrorist Simon Gruber(played by Jeremy Irons) brother of Hans from the first film, is forcing him to play his games all over the city, or he will detonate more bombs, though it turns out he has an entirely different motivation in mind, which McClane is determined to stop. Action-packed but disappointing sequel has a plot that doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and the stunts this time around defy credibility. Poor John McClane has been through enough!
