A convincingly menacing presence in such films as Goodfellas, Dick Tracy, and Nixon, Sorvino was just effective in comedy, memorably alongside George Burns in Oh God, and as a crooked insurance executive in the satire Bullworth. In addition to numerous TV roles and several directorial efforts, he was the father of Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino.

The third Die Hard movie is a weird watch. There is a key scene featuring terrorists blowing up New York City landmarks, complete with gray plumes of dust and coughing midtown citizens scrambling to get away from the explosions. At the same time, there are disturbingly cartoonish uses of racial slurs and hashtagproblematic race-related situations throughout. If you can look past those things, the macguffins of riddles and challenges that Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson are forced to solve to keep the killer at bay make for a popcorn-munching good time.
