Review of Hostage (2005) by Josh G — 09 Jan 2010

Well this film starts out with a horrible, violence, bloody hostage and Bruce Willis character trys to save, but dose'nt and is left guitly. The film is good old fashion Hostage, Action, Crime, Thriller film. When the film started the Title of the film was styish, cool and art-colourful and was a brilltant open and OK title of a film. Bruce Willis is a great actor, dose all his own stunts work (even at the age hes getting) and has a brilltant set of element of this genre as he dose lots of Crime/Thriller/Action film and hes really good at what he dose one of my favourite Action actored of are time and the last three decade's.

This film is a pretty damm good Action/Thriller/Crime film, its styish, bad-ass, some-what scary, thilling, terrifying, made me jump a few times and a decent action/thriller film. The specail effects and death scencs and as always Bruce Willis save the day these film is any enjoyable action film. Itsan alright right your either like it or hate it but is more for Bruce Willis fans. The film has some clever bits and emotion turns into the film.

The film is made on a Budget of $52 million (which is a decent Action/Thriller movie Budget) & grossed worldwide at Box Offices $77,944,725 which is not really good but it past its budgets and in US it made lower than its budget $34,639,939 which was kind of succusful, but has grossed more on DVD sales & rentals. The Film has reached maily Negative to Mixted reviews with critics and with fans and audience its been Mixted to positive & having it Distributed by Miramax.

The cast is a good lineup the best are in the film Bruce Willis, Jimmy Bennett (he's soo cute), Ben Foster, Jonathan Tucker & even know she just has a cameo Rumer Willis was really good. The rest of the cast Serena Scott Thomas, Marshall Allman, Michelle Horn & Kevin Pollak were all good in the film with decent acting, but I really loved Bruce Willis and Jmmy Bennett performances in the film.

Overall the film was enjoyable, but you would either like it or hate it, its a film mainly for people whio like action films and Bruce Willis fans alike and peole who like hostage Action,Crime,Drama,Thriller movies. The film is'nt for everyone and just worth one watch really and is'nt Bruce Willis best film, but a decent one for his career. very good action film some clever moments in the flim, but I dont think I would'nt watch it agian.
