Review of Hostage (2005) by Brandon S — 08 Jul 2015
An exciting thriller that keeps you hooked, but doesn't offer much else. And, to be honest, there isn't much else that this sort of movie needs.
I'm not familiar with any of Florent Emilio Siri's other work, but if this is indicative of his overall talent as a filmmaker and not a fluke than I'll be watching for him. He understands a few fundamental things that so many thriller filmmakers don't: the magic of editing, how to properly film violence, and how to use light.
An enjoyable and diverting crime thriller that doesn't quite reinvent the wheel, but doesn't make the mistake of trying to.
