Documentary Rated R
“Herzog’s subject is too engrossing to be completely nullified by the filmmaker’s intrusions.”
Action/Adventure Rated R
This third installment makes no apologies about its intent: to unleash absolute chaos across the city of New York and let regular-guy cop John McClane clean it up. Bruce Willis still exudes a world-weary charm, while Samuel L. Jackson – as an indignant Harlem shop owner who tags along – allows for some comic racial
