Hostage: Movie & DVD Review (2005)

9/08/2007 Posted by Admin

Snort, giggles and gunfire

(Originally published 2005)

The title says plenty about the story--Bruce Willis tries to save a family taken hostage--and even more about how audiences might feel while watching it.

The problem isn't just that the movie becomes increasingly claustrophobic as the violence escalates, but that Willis is so familiar in the role, he robs it of surprise and energy.

The overblown ending is preposterous, causing unintended laughter.
