I actually saw it for the first time ever last night. Just one of those movies that fell through the cracks for me for almost 30 years.

I will say that it was much better than I assumed it would be. I'm sure there's a long list of "unrealistic" things we could enumerate here, but the one that stood out to me the most was:

The absolutely comical portrayal of the cowboyishness of the FBI guys. They literally came in with combat choppers, flying low and swooping through the streets with the 2 head guys PERSONALLY manning large firearms in order to "surprise" storm the rooftop!

underrated line in the movie:

Wrong. One of the best action movies of all time. The only thing up for discussion is if Die Hard counts as a Christmas movie.

Huh what? Johnson and Johnson are awesome. One of the funniest parts of the film. Did not get the joke?

Why would you assume it was bad? It's one of the great action films ever. It was on several AFI lists for all time great films.
