Hostage

4/5- A good action film. I thought the movie was good- Willis, obviously a great job. He is a Hostage Negotiator. In the beginning of the movie, there is a suspensful scene. Good start. But the main story comes after. These 3 guys go to steal some very very rich guy’s car. This rich guy is a single father of 2 kids- a say…17 year old daughter named Jennifer and a say….7-10 year old boy named Tommy. The 3 guys enter the house with guns, Tommy pulls the silent alarm. Right here, I knew this kid would be great. Anyway, as the story transpires, Willis (who is now head of a small town Police Dept) gets the call and sees whats up. Anyway, Its a very involved storyline and this is a review, not a summary. The boy, Tommy- played by Jimmy Bennett was a great character. And Jimmy did a great job of portraying that. He was a brave little kid that wasn’t so couragous that it was unbelievable but he wasn’t a total wuss. He was a very smart kid who was able to think on his toes in a hot situation, and did what he had to do. The connection between him a Willis was a great one that was set from the opening scene, even though Tommy wasn’t in the opening scene. My only problem is there was no real closure I think. Sure, there was an ending- but I had some questions that could have been answered.
The action scenes- sick. There was fire, gunshots, a couple explosions, and a dramatic “walking sillouette” scene. But seriously, one scene towards the end takes the cake- all the plot lines come together in one massive action scene that still kept to the story and didnt end the movie. I liked it. You should go see it. Later.

ps- its hard to write a good review without giving away the story
