This well-made thriller grossed US$ 34,617,915 at the worldwide box office.....The score is ominous....the performances are strong, with Ben Foster memorably creepy and Willis excellent as the frightened hero.....In this well-made thriller, Bruce Willis plays Jeff Talley, a hostage negotiator who leaves Los Angeles to become police chief of upscale suburb Bristo Camino.....Florent Siri's efficient direction keeps the action flowing in unexpected directions.... ...

For the genre, Hostage is a winner.
Hostage is a couple of notches above the average, offering solid entertainment for a couple of hours that simply flies.

Hostage negotiator Jeff Talley (producer Bruce Willis) is stuck inside one long, bad day.

Clean persona getting ready for work as a chief of Police in the sticks is only something that a brilliant video game director like Florent Siri could draft up.
This makes the plot really silly.

Operatic and ominous, Hostage focuses on the dire ugliness of the youthful super-predator.
More disturbingly, Hostage is about the failure of certainty.
