Negotiator, TheJackson is Danny Roman, a police negotiator who fears he is being set up, so takes control of a police office and takes hostages. Exploiting his expert knowledge of the rules of negotiation and comprehending the depths of corruption, Danny asks for the only negotiator he can trust, Chris Sabian (Spacey). What would be a run of the mill action movie is enlivened by the sheer joy of watching two of Hollywood's best actors clearly having a ball, and relishing the sharp banter and the plot contrivances rather than treating them with contempt. A hoot. |
