Movie Description
This well-made thriller harkens back to the gritty crime films of the 1970s. Bruce Willis plays Jeff Talley, a traumatized ex-LAPD hostage negotiator whose new career as small town sheriff doesn't turn out to be as restful as he had hoped; a hostage situation breaks out on "low crime Tuesday" and he is thrown right back into the business he knows all too well. Some punk kids have shot a cop and are holed up in a local mansion inhabited by crooked accountant Walter Smith (Kevin Pollak), his two kids, and a lot of surveillance cameras. Walter's young son (Jimmy Bennett) escapes his bonds and reports to Talley from the air shafts via his sister's cell phone. The sister--a Goth teen played by Michelle Horn--draws the romantic attention of Mars (Ben Foster), the pot-addled sociopath in the gang, thus adding a unique twist to the damsel-in-distress factor. Meanwhile, amid the buzzing helicopters and mobilizing S.W.A.T. teams, another group of bad guys has kidnapped Talley's wife and daughter, in order to force him to retrieve a secret disc in Walter's study. Florent Siri's efficient direction keeps the action flowing in unexpected directions while allowing for plenty of interesting procedural details and sly bits of humor. The score is ominous and the performances are strong, with Foster memorably creepy and Willis excellent as the frightened hero.

Editorial Reviews
"HOSTAGE exemplifies taut, confident filmmaking. Bruce Willis draws upon the full measure of his strong physical presence, his intelligence and his considerable emotional resources held in reserve."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (03/11/2005)

"[T]he film's vaguely haunted, melancholic European sense of displacement does our Bruno good."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (03/18/2005)

"HOSTAGE is wonderfully nasty funny -- thanks to an authentic performance from Bruce..."
Uncut - Andrew Sumner (05/01/2005)

    Hostage is AMAZING! What a great cats, story, EVERYTHING!!!

    There isn't much you can say about this movie, other than it's spectacular.

    Hostage is dark and disturbing, it's action packed and full of suspense, it's everything you can ask for in a supsense/action film and more.

    The cast is absolutely superb and the plot is great, suspenseful, and full of twists.

    Final verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: This film is a must own, but by it for yourself, it's definitely not a kids movie.

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
