Movie Review

Grade: C Wait. Leave your brain at the door. No, not for this review - for the new Bruce Willis action movie "Hostage," about a sheriff who is forced to go to drastic measures to save his family. In real-life, his family would die ten times over, but thankfully director Florent Emilio Siri left reality at the doorstep. And no, that's not a good thing. Read the full movie review

Pretty Good, by Chloe

August 10, 2005

Hostage was a pretty good movie. I mean i thought all the trouble was already reconized, then the whole " I want the dvd or your family dies" totally surprised me. I thought all the characters played their parts very well. Especially the Mars kid, I don't know about you all but that kid gave me the creeps. He obviously was supposed to act that way, and he did it splendedly. But the actor I think did the best was the little boy Tommy. I mean he is such a young actor and he did that role really well. I think the casting was perfect for the movie, every single one of the actor/actresses fit their part great. I think everybody should see the movie. It was really well wrote and produced.
