Rogue Hostage

As cheesy as the dairy aisle, but decent fun to watch.

Nearly all the characters are connected, but nothing makes sense.

Your garden-variety hostage thriller with most of the clichés yet none of the thrills.

Rogue Hostage still falls short. Its painful opening only leads to an adequate middle, while its finale is both predictable and lacklustre.

Does everything in such a joyless fashion that it can't even muster simplistic thrills in a "so bad it's good" type of way.

This wouldn't be the worst film to watch if you stumbled across it on your TV.

The emotional stakes feel remarkably low in this incoherent assembly-line thriller with an equally generic title.

Other than the above-average efforts by Malkovich and Gibson, this ruthlessly mediocre action movie fails to muster enough energy to move itself out of the well-worn grooves of its story.

In "Rogue Hostage" the only person held captive is the viewer.

Rogue Hostage is ... among the most laughable examples of this very specific genre.
