Review: Hostage
Bruce Willis’ carreer has been pretty much non-stop since the early nineties, so he can be forgiven for a few missteps along the way. This movie belongs to this category, especially since he’s headlining it almost all by himself. The movie starts out like it’s gonna be some kind of The Negotiator, but soon falls into a mix of convenient mishaps, predictable action sequences and there are even horror elements . The lack of character depth means you’ll have to put up with some heave over-acting here and there, but there are some surprises and tense moments to be found. With Star Wars still running, I’d say it’s an easy choice to just skip this one and see Star Wars, even if it’s for the third time already.6.
