Review of Hostage (2005) by Luke B — 17 Nov 2008
Willis isn't so much Die Hard as he is Try Hard. A cop who no longer wants all the action that comes with a job. Shame then that his peaceful existence is shattered by a hostage situation gone bad.
The film's core is then interestingly split by the arrival of a second plot. Bruce is stuck in the middle of a very unpredictable situation. The three hostage takers are excellent, Tucker as the one who thinks he is in charge and the underrated Foster as the unpredictable psychopath.
The second plot that comes forth does make for an interesting action movie but also elevates the occurrence of preposterous sequences. Still it's an engaging plot with fairly well fleshed out characters.
