Could very well be the best performance of a villain in film.

Mr. Rickman got the German accent down big time.

The character was multi-layered imo. He had a great sense of humor as well as the menacing dispositon.

Perfectly acted by Alan Rickman.

A masterclass performance.

 
His German accent is very good but he spoke gringo German in Die Hard. TBH I don‘t think it‘s his fault as the German spoken in Die Hard is pretty atrocious at times.
 
8. Pretty good. A credit to the movie. But it's not a role I think of as one of the best ever that I will revisit and enjoy.
But that's largely just taste I guess.
 
It was fine. 8 or maybe 9 seems appropriate.

An old favourite is Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu's role as Raymond in The Vanishing (English)- actually released as a Dutch film called Spoorloos, meaning ' Without a Trace'. I think this is the only film I have that actually manages to scare the shit out of me.

@GoodBadHBK thought Die Hard was the best movie of 88'

But he's a fucking clown, I'm with you.
nah Bratan it s an amazing movie. They just speak fake German in it for the most part

Putting Die Hard in front of Bloodsport & Akira for best movie in 88' is still a crime on Sherdog.

@GoodBadHBK should have gotten the ban hammer for this.
 
Ummm he literally made the entire movie or 80/20 him to Bruce

Agree. While Bruce is great, I think the movie still would've worked with another "everyman cop actor"

Rickman was irreplaceable.

That said 9.
