A hostage negotiator with the LAPD has a standoff that goes horribly wrong and decides to move his family to a small, quiet town where he serves as chief of police. When three young criminals try to steal a car from a wealthy accountant, the situation turns ugly and the thieves become trapped in the heavily secured home, taking the accountant and his family hostage. The chief of police finds himself recalling his skills as a hostage negotiator to try to calm the situation. When his own family becomes involved, he has to decide whether to protect the safety of the family in the house or his own wife and daughter.
When you see a Bruce Willis action movie, you know what to expect and this is no different. There are plenty of guns, blood, close calls, grimaces and even some explosions. The story is pretty good with some slightly unexpected twists and plenty of suspense. Nothing too groundbreaking, but if you're in the mood for a gun-heavy action flick, check it out.
Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Bruce Willis, Kevin Pollak, Jonathan Tucker
I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
