**1/2 Stars
In the beginning of the movie, Jeff Talley (Willis) is negotiating to a criminal who is holding a family hostage. Sadly to say, he fails to save all their lives. Years later he finds himself in the same situation only this time the consequences of failure could mean the termination of his own family.
The question that the movie "Hostage" is asking you is the simple. Would you risk the lives of another family to save your own? That is what Talley has to face. When three crazy and idiotic teenagers try to steel a Cadillac from a rich family, they end up taking the father Walter (Pollack), Tommy (Bennett), and Jennifer (Michelle Horn) Smith Hostage. When Talley arrives on scene, he begins to negotiate with the criminals to deescalate the situation he find out that there are bigger things happening than the lives of this family.
When leaving the scene he finds himself taken hostage himself. The masked men have his family and if he doesn't retrieve something from the Smith's home their as good as dead. So Talley now must rely on little Tommy to retrieve the file.
You know with Willis your going to get a die-hard action performance and he pulls it off. Somewhere in the middle, the movie forgets what the movie is really about. Siri focuses too much on the problems of the burglars and not Talley's crisis. It goes in debt about how one of them is lonely and tries to rape the girl and how he's alone. Its purpose is questionable and foolish.
It has a lot of flaws, but despite that, Hostage is a must for Willis fans and those wanting his die-hard attitude.
