When a family is held hostage, former hostage negotiator Jeff Talley arrives at the scene, however, the tables turn on Talley when his own family is kidnapped and Talley must decide which is more important: saving a family he doesn't even know or saving his own family. There wealthy recluse Walter Smith's fortress villa is chose after a silly boasting game as next robbery target by maverick Mars Krupcheck, cocky Dennis Kelly and his dragged-along, basically decent kid brother Kevin. Walter gets shot, but his alarms alert he police and later shut down the compound, while his snooty daughter Jennifer foolishly flirts and smart kid son Tommy manages to hide and contact Talley, who initially planned to lay low. The chief dismisses the blundering FBI, forced by the kidnapping of his own family to go in and retrieve a mysterious secret file for a shady but mighty mastermind bunch. All plans are crosses by surprises, from the panicking amateur fiends, kids and Jeff.
Jeff Talley, a former LAPD hostage negotiator, has moved himself away from his failed career outside of Los Angeles, and away from his wife and daughter when three perpetrators move in on an unsuspecting family. But the family's father has a secret which might compromise his kin, and one of the criminals is about to jump over the edge. Jeff Talley has to get everybody to survive the night......if he can.
Hostage is a fast and unrelenting film, the sort that draws you in with its sleek and pleasing visuals before hitting you a couple of times with some violence and suspense. It's the sort of film that will grab you and churn you through some obligatory scenes of build up and tension but it's also the sort that does so without bothering you. That said, Hostage could've been much worse than how I found it to be. Each individual act and each individual event will seem familiar and channelled but everything comes together in a recognisable yet pleasing package of thrills and entertainment.

The film toys about with identity and spaces the character's inhabit. The film also dips in and out of ideas to do with class and stereotypical labelling. But Hostage is still a film that covers a lot of ground. Bruce Willis' character of Jeff Talley will go from too relaxed-a expert of a profession, to having a child die in his arms, to being shot at, to suffering tragedy to do with his family and to coming close to being cooked. But what works against the film is also what works with it: we've seen Willis do this before in the Die Hard films, in The Fifth Element and in The Last Boy Scout. These things have happened to Willis before; who they haven't happened to before is Jeff Tally and this is where the chief reason to suspend belief spawns from.

So if Hostage is the same old, same old happening to the same guy in the wrong place at the wrong time then why did I find it slightly better than just that? For one, the film has several narratives going on at once under the mask of one chief narrative which is the taking over of a large house isolated in dusty California by three kids with nothing better to do. They also think the daughter of the household is attractive and wouldn't mind spending some time with her after an earlier attempt to 'woo' her results in her giving them the finger. This is where the film gets a little clever, too clever if you like for its own good. The film's chief narrative line is about the 'good' rich whom are the helpless, captive family and the 'evil' poor – the three kids that dress in rags, drive around in a beat up truck and hijack the family's house.

Then there are the seemingly pointless scenes once they are in the house. The three poor or 'evil' kids walk around this post-modern mansion in disarray: they are lost amongst items and deco that they are not familiar with; they inhabit a space that is alien to them. Panes of glass with water running down them, creating a makeshift waterfall, bemuse the kids; an electronic safe with high-tech locking mechanism equally confuses them and a facility to check every inch of the house and grounds using screens is an item that amazes them. But while this basic battle of good and evil is established, another one is sparked off half way through. It seems the 'good' family are not as innocent as first viewed, at least the father (played by Kevin Pollak) isn't, and an outside force hell bent on retaining an item from within the house enters the fray.

In order for this third element to enter the narrative, they must do something to Talley (Willis) that will force us to label them villains. And yet, they need to do this in order to not only protect Walter Smith's (Pollack) job/life (prison if he is caught) but they will also systematically aid in Jeff Talley's saving of the two innocent Smith children who are still in the mansion. So the film plays with conventions such as good vs. evil and if anything, it manipulates clichés and obligatory scenes so that we have to think about who we are rooting for and who we want to succeed when certain situations come around.

There can be no denying that Hostage has its problems but it makes up for them with its cheeky references and its big ideas. The black police woman who is shot mercilessly outside the gate and acts as the film's initial incident is in poor taste since she is African-American and must be sacrificed so that the film must follow through; as is the humiliation of the black policeman in Jeff's precinct. He is the one that wears trainers and seems goofy in his response and reaction to being told not to do it again, indeed; it is not the first time it has happened. But the film is full of visual tricks such as the CCTV screen turning into reality and there are some long takes also thrown in. Tommy Smith (Bennett) crawls around in the establishment's air vent shaft, unbeknownst to his captors, alá John McLane in Die Hard and communicates with the outside police (who he does not know anything of) via two-way radio also alá McLane. Hostage is good entertainment but below the surface, there is far more going on than first presumed. Hostage is not a good movie by any measure.

The writing and plotting are so poor, that for the main character to keep his credibility, everyone around him has to be stupid. His fellow cops are stupid. His captain is stupid and can't do anything right without his instructions. The villains are stupid and don't really know what they want or how to get it. The hostages are stupid - they keep talking to Willis at the top of their irritating voices, even though they are trying to evade the dunce burglars. And daddy Kevin Pollak is literally out of it, having been bludgeoned into a near coma earlier on.

Things don't start off well, when instead of being listed in on the screen, the credits are actually scribbled on all kinds of objects... the 'clues' or credits are literally written on the wall, on cars, and anything else that comes handy.

The movie is like a collage of hostage and Bruce Willis action pics. Willis is a hostage negotiator of questionable skill, who loses a hostage and breaks down, only to slink away to a rural police department (in Edge Of Night, Bruce Willis played a psychiatrist who retreated to a fellow psychiatrist's practice after losing a patient to suicide - sound familiar?). His bumbling co-worker (Marjean Holden, a world away from her gonad kicking starring role in the 1995 movie Ballistic) stumbles upon the burglary in question and gets shot dead, allowing Willis to return to his role as hostage negotiator. He really has no further business there, except of course that he 'cares', because you see, this family could be his family (and of course Rumor Willis is his real life daughter). Then, in a dire turn of scriptwriting... Oh well, you get the picture. His only contact on the inside is the small boy who manages to break free of his duct tape and goes straight for the ventilation system (Bruce Willis in Die Hard). The main weirdo kid burglar dresses like Eric Draven (The Crow) and (gasp) smokes weed. With the main brothers being so dumb, he is the only one who keeps any tension going. The plotting is so dire, that the entire crew could have been out of there with 2 million dollars, except that after a few 'meaningful' minutes together, The Crow had grown attached to Rumor, who although being young and shapely, is still second fiddle to Lindsay Lohan. Robert Knepper actually looks like Michael Wincott, who played the genius burglar in Eddy Murphy's hostage negotiator movie Metro.

I really objected to the Stepin Fetchit mannerisms of the two co-workers of Willis, one cop with a high pitched, wheezy, mumbling voice that I barely trusted not to stumble over his own feet, and an ambulance worker who displays some amazing eyeball acrobatics, which I personally found out of place in an action movie, or this century. What part of the audience in particular is this aimed at?

Willis goes around the first half of the movie with tears in his eyes, and I suspect much of that was because of the quality of the script. Amazing to think that this movie was made in the same year when he co-starred in the hugely superior Sin City, which at least had the benefit actually being based on a comic book. I think that happens a lot - when a movie is based on a book, the script only has to be updated for the screen. Most of the characters are already developed by the author, who also took a lot of time plotting and doing background research. Witness Silence Of The Lambs and Manhunter (Thomas Harris), Blade Runner (Philip K. Dick), etc.

So I think everyone is clear on what they are getting. A Bruce Willis action movie that will not win any Oscars, but might actually pass the time.

Bruce Willis is doing a lot of work, but I think he would be better off not picking a few roles here and there, and returning to much better written and funded movies like the ones he used to star in, in the 1980s. Bruce looks hot and underplays handsomely as always, but Hostage is a steaming pile of siege clichés and screaming unlikelihoods.
