Hostage movie Review


Facts of the movie:

  • Starring: Golden Globe® winning actor Bruce Willis, Kevin Pollack, Joanthan Tucker, Ben Foster, Rumer Willis
  • Director: Florent Emilio Siri (director of best video game, Splinter Cell)
  • World Box Office: US$77,944,725


The story is based on New York Time best seller Robert Crais’s novel “Hostage”. Directed by Florent Emilio Siri, Starring by Action superstar Bruce Willis (Sin City, Die Hard Series: Die Hard, Die Harder and With A Vengeance, Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense, Armageddon and Pulp Fiction)


The movie starts in a sleepy day. When their late afternoon joyride turns into a random act of violence, they take a family hostage in the affluent bedroom community of Bristo Camino. Enter Chief of Police Jeff Talley (Bruce Willis), a stressed-out former LAPD SWAT negotiator who is hiding from his past. Plunged back into the high-pressure world that he desperately wants to forget, Talley soon learns that his nightmare has only begun.

The hostages are not who they seem, and the home contains secrets that even L.A.’s most lethal and volatile crime lord, Sonny Benza, fears. As Talley tries to hold himself together and save the people inside, the full weight of Benza’s wrath descends on him, putting the police chief and his own family at risk. Soon, all involved are held hostage by the exigencies of fate and the only one capable of diffusing the standoff is the least stable of them all.


Hostage is a blistering stand-alone thriller with superb characters in crisis between the choices, multi-stranded plotting, and pitch-perfect Southern California sensibility. Even though the movie has high level of violence and offensive language; and looks a little bit familiar idea as the other movies, such as “Panic Room”, it is still a good piece of thriller to watch.
