TRULY AMAZING AND I LOVE THE LITTLE TRIBUTE SCENE TO HIS CHARACTER AT THE END OF THE POST CREDITS!

I’d only really known him for his excellent portrayal of the tortured and sensitive Will Graham in Manhunter, so it was a surprise to see him handle a balls out (literally) hothead with a deathwish with equal skill. This guy should have been a much bigger star. Perhaps the only other actor who could have portrayed John McClane remotely as well as Bruce did.

RIGHT...AS A KID THIS MOVIE BLEW ME AWAY AND THEN I NEVER SAW WILLIAM AGAIN UNTIL I WAS GROWN AND CSI CAME ON...HE REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HOUSEHOLD NAME.
