Hard Time: Hostage Hotel

Hostage hotel was a very enjoyable movie, as im sure you all know from my previus comments that I am a huge Burt Reynolds fan, which is the main reason I liked this film, but not the only reason, it still had a good story with a great dialog, this movie was really well done for a film with such a small budget.

I would suggest you watch this film if you are a Burt Reynolds fan.

8/10

I have just watched the 1998 movie "Hard Time", but haven't watched the 1999 sequel "Hard Time: The Premonition", but had the chance to sit down and watch the third and final movie in the franchise, the 1999 movie "Hard Time: Hostage Hotel" immediately after watching the first movie. And of course I opted to do so, because I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie quite a lot.

The storyline in this third movie was enjoyable, sure, but it just wasn't as good or entertaining as it was in the first movie. Writer Steven H. Berman put together a fair enough script and storyline, but seemed to have had aimed a bit too high as director Hal Needham didn't really deliver on the same level.

Burt Reynolds still carries the movie quite well with his performance. And this third movie definitely also has an impressive cast ensemble, with the likes of Charles Durning, Keith Carradine, David Rasche, Ted McGinley, Richard Riehle, Danielle Harris, Spencer Garrett, Tony Plana, Ja'net DuBois and Kevin Durand. The acting performances in the movie are good.

There is a fair amount of action in the movie, which definitely helps lift up the movie a bit.

Watchable, sure, but hardly an outstanding movie. The movie sort of comes off as being rather bland, if you will.

My rating of "Hard Time: Hostage Hotel", from director Hal Needham, lands on a five out of ten stars.

This film is basically Burt Reynolds Die Hard movie and a great action TV movie and has a great final movie with both The Bandit and the director of Smokey and the Bandit and the reason I say it's his Die Hard film is because Burt Reynolds was one of the other actors to play John Mcclane in Die Hard (1988)

I guess I`m on a winning streak this week. Last night I had the pleasure of watching the hysterical "Airborne" starring Steve Guttenberg, and tonight I found myself in the company of Burt Reynolds and Sledge Hammer. This is appearently the ending of some TV-series but nobody, and that includes Smokey himself, seems to care at all.

The only good thing here is Mr.Sledge Hammer himself. David Rasche knows too well this is utter crap and instead decides to camp up his worried congressman with pretty hilarious results.The equivalent of dancing around while working at McDonalds...

Well, this movie was okay but it was a dissapointment. As soon as I got the tape, I realized it was a tv movie. So, it didn't have a lot of violence or high action in it. It was still okay though. It's not one of his better movies.
