You get two hostage crises for the price of one in Hostage, an overwrought
but otherwise involving thriller grounded by Bruce Willis's solid lead
performance. Making a dramatic pit-stop on his way to Die Hard 4, Willis
plays a traumatized former Los Angeles hostage negotiator, now working as
a nearly-divorced police chief in sleepy Ventura County, California. Willis
suddenly finds himself amidst two potentially deadly stand-offs when a trio
of hapless teenagers seize hostages in the fortress-like home of an
accountant (Kevin Pollack) whose connections to organized crime result in
Willis struggling to rescue his estranged wife and daughter, who are being
held hostage by faceless thugs at an undisclosed location. Having directed
two of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell video games, director Florent Siri brings
plenty of slick, competent filmmaking to Willis's desperate dilemma, and the
film boasts a gritty, graphic style that draws attention away from implausible
plot twists. The bothersome, over-the-top performances by the teenaged
villains also slightly compromise this gloomy but emotionally gripping
adaptation of Robert Crais's novel, named as one of Amazon.com's best
books of 2001
