Love and Hostages

Couldn't make it till the end saw 2/3 of it of them sitting in apartment mostly arguing. Boring.

The actual film description is enticing. Two people are forced to stay locked down in an apartment after a one-night-stand, and neither of them can remember what happened, let alone the other's name. I thought some of the camera work (particularly the close ups) were strategic, but the movie itself didn't make a mark.

The first 30 minutes of the film were just filled with the "couple" arguing. It really felt like you were watching two drama kids showcase a skit. The main actress is quite pretty, but the way she delivered her lines was infuriating.

Some of the flashback scenes of the couple's date night were fun to watch, but overall I have to recommend that people skip this. I couldn't really relate to any character or root for their success.

Stuck in her apartment during a police lock-down of the building the morning after two strangers meet in a bar, having had too much to drink, the humorous (rightly balanced) yet semi-serious romantic storyline (also rightly balanced) unfolds as it flashes back and forth from the tension in the apartment to past relationships, family and their fun one-night-stand that they barely remember. The tie-in of people (Paco), things (the piggy bank), and even a partial phone number written on a napkin used a bit grossly (but lovingly) the night before, are all so cleverly interjected, and just wait until the end!!!! A complete unraveling of truths at an unpredictable wedding.....and finally!!! What's in the piggy bank? Although language is used, it's not excessive, sex is insinuated, it's not vulgar, suspense is in the air, but its not stressful, and the acting is superbly professional, not weak or amateurish. This movie is a must see!!! You'll enjoy it, and if you have kids, it's a great movie to leave them at home!

I really liked this movie. The premise was what brought me here, but the actors kept me here. Loved the lead male actor! The chemistry between them both was great. Good story carried out well. Enjoyed the music too. Definitely worth watching!

I just bought an Amazon Fire Stick and wanted to test it out and sort the settings. I selected the first film that came up for a two minute test and ended up watching the whole show.

Its an original story and all the relatively unknown actors (to me) were first rate. I really enjoyed it and have been surprised that, although the cast have in the main, worked a bit tat they are not better known. I've seen a lot worse films with big stars in them. A rare find. Recommended viewing.
