HBO Max’s new No.1 movie is a blockbuster action-thriller with a ‘Star Wars’ alumna — and it’s a total ‘Die Hard’ clone

1988’s action classic ‘Die Hard’ has been mimicked and imitated for almost four decades, but few movies have so shamelessly aped John McClane’s explosive escapade in Nakatomi Plaza as “Cleaner.”

In a nutshell, this 2025 action-thriller is basically ‘Die Hard’ in London, and it swaps out Bruce Willis for Daisy Ridley, most known for her role as Rey in the “Star Wars” saga.
