Reasonably competent and breathlessly paced.

I thought, this is going to be a first-rate thriller, nobody plays that kind of character better than Bruce Willis, he's great at that. And then it just gets more and more complicated and more and more ridiculous.

you've seen this movie before

Mostly a nerve jangling thriller, but you know there's something not quite right about a movie when you're wondering more about why such a plush mansion on fire doesn't have a better sprinkler system.

Very violent hostage drama.

Hostage is all the pulp thriller Bruce Willis movies you've seen before.

A tired formula.

This is one movie that would be incomplete without a soda, some popcorn, and a box of chocolate covered something.

For action movie fans who require just a touch of depth and mystery between gunshots, Hostage could make for a satisfying night at the movies.

It revels in a sort of operatic vulgarity. And once the story exhausts its over-the-top cheesiness, there are still a few loose ends to tie up, and so the film drags on.

Speaking of torture, if you dig it, by all means lock yourself up for two hours with Hostage, which begins by administering electric shocks to your viscera and keeps upping the voltage.
