Anecdotes:

Among the DVDs in Kevin Pollak's movie collection is The Negotiator (1998), a film also about a police negotiator in an intense situation. We also see a copy of Nid de guêpes (2002) (The Nest), Florent Emilio Siri's previous movie. S.W.A.T. (2003) is also a movie on the shelf.

Goofs:

Continuity: The watchman fastens the seat belt across Talley's chest (under his arms), but during the close-ups of the man in back restraining him, it appears to come over his left shoulder, not his chest.

Amazing and breathtaking- Bruce has returned

Hostage is breathtaking from the first to the last second. Not only is the story well elaborated pure and to the point with no frills but also Bruce Willis has added more facets to his "last boyscout" personality.Bruce returns as we have seen him so many times before - a lonesome cowboy having trouble in his marriage and with his teenage daughter. And yes he is a police chief once more. But he stepped down in his career as blaming himself for a mistake he made in the past. He is scared and even cries which makes him so human and almost fragile- yet he is a tough negotiator still.He suffers and we suffer with him as he portraits a hero which is much more real. Willis has matured and his amazing performance just blew me away. Hostage is a must see.
