What Is Film Noir?

Film Noir is a genre of film that is stereotypically about gangs, detectives and murder. The classic film noir period was the 1940s and 1950s. The roots of the genre came with black and white cinematography. Though the more recent films mostly keep with the themes of a film noir, they are usually in colour.

Die Hard With A Vengeance

'Die Hard With A Vengeance' is a 1995 action film starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. It is the third film in the Die Hard series, following a NYPD Lieutenant fighting against criminals. In this film, John McClane (Bruce Willis) has to work with Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) to play a dark game of 'Simon Says' with the Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons), the brother of the villain who was killed in the first film (Alan Rickman). I love Bruce Willis and I love Samuel L. Jackson and I love action films, which is why I love this film so much. I loved watching the characters work out all the riddles especially the riddle about the water. The 'Die Hard' films are my favourite films to watch when I'm bored because they are so packed full of adventure; it's just that this one is my personal favourite.
