Don’t miss this cult action film that you must see at least once in your life. It will be broadcast on television this week.
In the pantheon of Hollywood action films we find many feature films that have thrilled or kept millions of viewers in suspense. This week one of them will be broadcast on French television. It is one of the great classics that you have to watch at least once in your life and that many viewers regularly rewatch due to its great popularity. It is also rated 8.2/5 on IMDB and is at the top of Time Out magazine’s ranking of the best action films of all time, followed by Collider (behind…). Seven samurai).
published in 1988, Crystal trap is the first episode (and the best) of the saga Die Hard. In this film, viewers were able to discover for the first time the exploits of John McClane, a determined New York police officer who was willing to take any risk to carry out his mission. Especially when a commando breaks into the building where his wife Holly works, from whom he has been separated for several months and with whom he hopes to reconcile during the holidays. In order to save them, John McClane has no choice but to make a surprise entry into the building and destroy this commando led by the ruthless Hans Gruber.
Crystal trap is cult in many ways. This is the first time that Bruce Willis will take on the roles of John McClane, a character who will become extremely popular and make a name for himself in pop culture. So much so that some of his lines, such as the iconic line uttered by the hero, “Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker,” become an unforgettable line in action cinema. For some, it is even one of the Christmas movies to watch during the holidays, even if it is not a classic romantic comedy since the action takes place on December 24th.
In this feature film, director John McTiernan lays the foundation for the franchise by offering high-octane action scenes and a thrilling game of hide-and-seek with fearsome terrorists in a huge glass building. Crystal trap gave Alan Rickman one of his most popular villain roles (behind Severus Snape).Harry Potter) and the late British actor takes on the role of an extremely charismatic and dangerous terrorist.
Even if the sequels are much more uneven, this first episode remains a masterpiece of the genre. Crystal trap will be televised on M6 this week. The sixth channel will offer it in its program on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 from 9:10 p.m. If you prefer the streaming view, you should head to the Disney+ subscription platform.
