    Run of the mill Bruce Willis action flick and I love me some Bruce Willis so it was definitely a good time. I did feel like this was an older movie, not sure if that's a good thing or not.

    Not as bad as I thought it would be but it suffers from having annoying kids in it and a very overused storyline.

    "I'm your brother! So you gotta choose. Me, or Mars?
    - I choose the money."

    "Hostage" was Bruce Willis' rise back to the A-class of action movie stars. Directed by Florent Siri, this movie was one of the better action movies of 2005.

    The cast in "Hostage" features a lot of tale...( read more)nted young actors. Ben Foster and Jonathan Tucker have done, during the last few years, some good work, so I expect good performances from them in the future.

    "Hostage" is a good acted, exciting film with some explicit violent scenes. The actions of the kids are brutal and unplanned. Bruce Willis' small town cop, formerly employed as a negotiator, has to save the hostages also because his familys lifes are at stake...

    Good to see Willis do that what he's best at. "Hostage" is one of Willis' most notable performances. A pure adrenaline rush with some twists that will keep you on the edge.

    Great movie with many complex twists to the plot. Tally (Bruce Willis) is a former hostage negotiator who has changed jobs to get away from the guilt of losing two hostages in his last job. He is now chief of police in a small town. He gets a call to an accountant's house, where ...( read more)three teenagers are holding his family hostage. The accountant is dodgy and the criminals want a DVD that is in the house. Tally's own family are held hostage to ensure they get the DVD. Will Tally risk another family to save his own?

    Bit of a mess of an adaptation of Robert Crais' book. Eh, at least Crais got paid. The rest of us can't say that.

    Not what I expected. It's a good film, it's well done, but it's pretty random. Classic Bruce Willis with him backed by explosions and things and overall a good film, but again, very random!

    I actually enjoyed this movie. I generally like Bruce Willis movies, but this one felt like old Bruce Willis. The story was good & the action was entertaining!
