Bruce Willis is always in danger of being a parody of himself, most often typecast as the maverick save-the-world cop a-la-Die Hard, but in fact he has tried to explore other character portrayals in recent years. Yes, he's a cop again in this one, but he never looked as if he was about to do any yippee-kai-yays at any time. Thanks mainly to a solid writing base from a Robert Crais novel of the same name, Hostage is a pretty good thriller and not as formulaic as many might expect. The odd thing though is that there were a few signature images that reminded me of other seemingly unrelated films, notably The Crow - one of the hostage takers, a psycho named Mars and played by Ben Foster, looked bizarrely like Brandon Lee's portrayal of Eric Draven ...

Plenty of suspense, some subtle romance, friendship, hope, etc. enough to fill a season really worth watching.
5 stars would mean perfect and that would be difficult for a series to obtain. It needs to fill 22 episodes and this off course makes it hard to have every second count a 100%. The series continues and thus ... Read More:
