Brainlessly efficient.

you've seen this movie before

| Original Score: C | Oct 15, 2012

Very violent hostage drama.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2010

This is one movie that would be incomplete without a soda, some popcorn, and a box of chocolate covered something.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 18, 2009

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Reasonably competent and breathlessly paced.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 24, 2007

Mostly a nerve jangling thriller, but you know there's something not quite right about a movie when you're wondering more about why such a plush mansion on fire doesn't have a better sprinkler system.

It revels in a sort of operatic vulgarity. And once the story exhausts its over-the-top cheesiness, there are still a few loose ends to tie up, and so the film drags on.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006

It's about as meaningful as a pile of clichés.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 20, 2006

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Estamos ante una historia interesante, en la que los personajes dejan de ser las caricaturas habituales de siempre para convertirse en seres humanos reales.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 5, 2005

chaotic and clichd

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 20, 2005

Willis manages to be the best thing in the picture, and largely because of him I was willing to overlook the plot's ridiculous loopholes and exaggerations.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 16, 2005

O tipo de filme que deveria ter sido estrelado por Steven Seagal ou Dolph Lundgren e lanado diretamente em vdeo e DVD.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 28, 2005

Much like Jeff Talley himself, Hostage badly needed a shave.

Full Review | Original Score: 40/100 | Apr 23, 2005

Movies can be smart movies, masquerading as stupid ones - this may be the smartest stupid movie you see all year. Either way, it's just what you're looking for.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 21, 2005

If you enjoyed the die-hard films of earlier years, this should be a big winner for you.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 14, 2005

While not high art by any stretch of the imagination Siri, Willis and company create a better movie than the premise deserves and create an entertaining B-movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 12, 2005
