The prologue of Hostage finds Bruce Willis sporting a salt-and-pepper beard as the police negotiator he plays tragically blows a precarious Los Angeles case. With its main character's personal demons now firmly established, the movie proceeds to the main event - but not before its hero gets a shave.
This is fitting. The human element matters little in this movie, regardless of how strenuously its hackneyed script attempts to convince you otherwise. Hostage is really about sleek Bruce -- buff, bald and clean-shaven -- as he goes to town on two sets of assailants. Bullets fly and flames erupt, proving that some movie concepts really do die hard.
Made with energetic flair and no small dose of violence, mercifully handled with discretion, Hostage exemplifies taut, confident filmmaking. Bruce Willis draws upon the full measure of his strong physical presence, his intelligence and his considerable emotional resources held in reserve.
Under Florent Siri's authoritative direction, Willis holds together Doug Richardson's fiendishly clever script, based upon Robert Crais' novel, that tantalizingly teeters on the brink of improbability while keeping the viewer constantly on the edge of the seat.
An expertly staged opening sequence reveals why Willis' Jeff Talley, the LAPD's prime hostage negotiator, ...
Hostage, Of Course!!!!
Bruce Willis plays an ex hostage negotiator who blames himself for the death of a mother and son during one of his negotiations.
As usual, as in any other film of his, his character as the present Poilce Sherrif is very well portrayed.
A hostage starts to unfold in a rich family's massive top of the range house, and on top of this Willis' wife and daughter are taken hostage by different people. Quite a few twists that you don't see coming. A thorough marvellous film that will keep you at the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
