One of Bruce Willis’s Better Action Movies!

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

Although known for Die Hard, there are many other great Action Movies that Bruce Willis has starred in and 2005’s Hostage is one of them.

The director has a unique preference for pacing and attention to detail that makes this movie thoroughly enjoyable!

Thrilling and Action packed!

I LOVED this thrilling movie. I'm saddened by Bruce Willis' health condition and watching this was only a reminder of the type of work I'm going to miss by this actor. I truly wish him well and hope that he recovers. The only thing I wish they had done was pay homage to the Die Hard movies by having the child say something reminiscent of the past movies when he was going through the crawl space, but otherwise, the movie was action packed and fast paced.

A very good homage to classic Italian gialli

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2005

Verified Purchase

The last year or so has seen the rise of several new directors from France who've made quite a splash with their Hollywood debuts. There's Alejandro Aja with Haute Tension (or Switchblade Romance/High Tension) who brought back the late 70's early 80's sensibilities of what constitutes a good slasher, exploitation film. Then there's Jean-Francois Richet whose 2005 remake of John Carpenter's early classic, Assault on Precicnt 13 surprised quite abit in the industry. Neither film made too much in terms of box-office, but they did show that a new wave of genre directors may not be coming out of the US but from France of all places. Another name to add to this list is Florent Siri and his first major Hollywood project Hostage shows that he has the style and skills to make it in Hollywood.

Hostage is another Bruce Willis vehicle that was adapted by Doug Richardson (wrote the screenplay for Die Hard 2) from Robert Crais' novel. Hostage is a very good thriller with a unique twist to the hostage-theme. Willis' character is a burn-out ex-L.A. SWAT prime hostage negotiator whose last major case quickly ended up in the death of suspect and hostages. We next see him as chief of police of a small, Northern California community where low-crime is the norm. We soon find out that his peace of mind and guilt from his last case may have eased since taking this new job, but his family life has suffered as a consequence. All of the peace and tranquility is quickly shattered as a trio of local teen hoodlums break into the opulent home of one Walter Smith (played by Kevin Pollak). What is originally an attempt to steal of of the Smith's expensive rides turn into a hostage situation as mistakes after mistakes are made by the teens.

From this moment on Hostage would've turned into a by-the-numbers hostage thriller, but Richardson's screenplay ratchets things up by forcing Willis' character back into the negotiator's role as shadowy character who remain hooded and faceless throughout the film kidnap his wife and daughter. It would seem that these individuals want something from the Smith's home and would kill Willis' character's family to achieve their goals. The situation does get abit convoluted at times and the final reel of the film ends just abit too nicely after what everyone goes through the first 2/3's of the film.

The characters in the film are developed enough to give each individual a specific motivation and enough backstory to explain why they ended up in the situation they've gotten themselves into. Willis' performance in Hostage is actually one of better ones in the last couple years. The weariness he gives off during the film is more due to his character's state of mind rather than Willis phoning in his performance. I would dare say that his role as Chief of Police Jeff Talley is his best in the last 2-3 years. The other performance that stands out has to be Ben Foster as the teen sociopath Mars. His character and Foster's performance straddles the line between being comedic and over-the-top. What we get instead is one creepy individual who almost becomes the boogeyman of the film. In fact, the last twenty minutes of Hostage makes Mars into a slasher-film type character who can't seem to die.

The real star of the film has to be Florent Siri's direction and sense of style. From the very first frame all the way to the last, Siri gives Hostage the classic 70's and 80's Italian giallo look and feel. Siri's use of bright primary colors in conjuction with the earthy, desaturated look of the film reminds me of some of the best work of Argento, Bava, Fulci and Lenzi. In particular, Siri's film owes alot of its look to films such as Tenebrae, The Bird with the Crystal Plummage, and The Psychic. Certain scenes, especially the penultimate climax in the Smith home, take on an almost dreamlike quality. Siri's homage to the classic giallis even gives Hostage some sequences that would comfortably fit in a 70's slasher film.

Florent Siri's Hostage is not a perfect film and at times its increasing tension without any form of release can be unbearable to some people, but it succeeds well enough as a thriller. It also shows that Siri knows his craft well and instead of mimicking and cloning scenes from the giallis he's fond of, he emulates and adds his own brushstrokes. The film is not for everyone and some people may find the story convoluted if not dull at times, but for me the film works well overall. Siri is one director that people should keep an eye on.

Bruce Willis carries it

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019

The screenplay might be a repeat, but BW keeps it fresh, suspenseful, convincing. The director, thankfully, also keeps the plot moving forward so there is no wasted time or scenes. Contrast this with Max Payne (1) in which I repeatedly fast forwarded 10 seconds at a time in order to avoid boredom. Great to see that Willis can still act, a shame he doesn't find better scripts, but this one is good enough.

It's an action movie. I wish I could say it was more.

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2022

Acting isn't bad. Cinematography and screenplay are okay. I should have like it more than I did. It's a bit too convoluted and tries to be a lot more than it is, but fails. The whole "government secret counterfeit society" mixed with the incredibly coincidental random three teenagers, with one who happens to be an aspiring maniac combined with a really random and haphazard set of circumstances make it all seem very contrived. Sure. It's an action movie. For all this effort, it really should have turned out to be more than it was.

A great underrated action film! A little long (I thought it was done when the helicopter showed up) but Bruce Willis and Ben Foster carry this film through all the cool twists and reveals! Kevin Pollack has little screen time but always scores! I loved the "Two Heaven Can Wait dvds" gag.
