Trivia
Bruce Willis's daughter in the movie, Amanda, was played by his real-life daughter Rumer Willis. Rumer wanted the part, but Bruce made her audition like everyone else, and she got the part.

Goofs
When Tommy cuts the tape around his hands at his bedroom, the piece of glass he uses has cut his hands open, wounding his hands and covering them in blood. However, when he crawls through the ventilation shaft, he doesn't leave any traces of blood behind even though he needs his hands to crawl through the shaft.

Quotes
Jeff Talley: Fucking rich people.

Crazy credits
The beginning and end credits take place as a virtual camera moves through a digitally replicated set with frozen action. This then fades into and out of the live action at the beginning and end of the film.

Well-acted and Emotional Action Thriller

I went into this movie with moderate expectations, but was very impressed with how good it was. Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish, Hostage offered some great action, drama, emotion and most of all some fantastic acting, mainly by Bruce Willis and Ben Foster. I have not always enjoyed Willis' movies, but this one was reminiscent of some of his better roles, ie. Die Hard and Sixth Sense.

I have read some of the media's reviews of this film and some have been unjustifiable harsh. Were they watching the same movie? Once again, I am glad that I did not listen to the critics because I would have missed this movie. If you are in the mood for a tense, gritty thriller with believable and emotional characters, Hostage will not disappoint. I give it 8.5/10.
