American Hostage

... under the title.

When you see this, you can go "Ah, now I know what to expect", so you don't get caught when a few hundred others have watched a movie with blinkers on.

Or, maybe they should link in with Box Office Mojo & show the budget of the movie, directly under the name ... another "Ah, N/A means it's so low (read=bad) that they too ashamed to put a budget on". Yes, I actually searched for it there and it wasn't found. And yes, I know that not every movie is on that site.

Overall, don't waste your time. I'm guessing every person involved in this movie voted and hence (at time of writing this) the 384 voters were slightly biased, or high on something.

Watch at your own peril ...

I watched this film hoping with the ratings 7.1/10 it would worth while. I agree with Stamron & Sina's comments, what a waste of my time. Unless you have an 1h 40min of time you wish to waste, I would avoid this movie like the plague. It's obviously a low budget movie as the acting is pretty poor, not convincing at all. Thumbs down to this

really??! 7.5 out of 10??! are you sure you are not drunk??! Based on IMDb ratings i chose this movie to watch, but again it is approved to me not all ratings can fetch you the dream. a real catastrophe; no matter the cast or the scenario or acting. this movie should be shown to students as a sample of "how not to make a movie!". the angles of shooting, the way actors or actresses looking at each other and specially the funny stress controlling actions. Anyway i thought maybe the voters were drunk while rating! so i tried to get drunk and watch the movie! but you know what?! i couldn't get further than 10 minutes. To people who still have not watched this; DON'T!

Great Movie from start to finish. It delivers a true message and is definitely a must-watch movie.The story behind this movie takes the audience on a great journey. I really recommend to see this movie and I am looking forward to the director's future work. The actors showed great acting and keeps the audience engaged. The story is great and shows topics within our society and is more relevant than ever. It shows a disruptive message and shows a different perspective on of the most important world problems. The characters in this movie are great displayed and helps the audience to understand how our problems are relevant for all of us.

This is a contemporary movie about terrorism where two soldiers are taken hostage. The film has 3 main story lines, basically concentrating on how the terrorist got to this point. There is one scene that will make you cringe in your seat. As far as the script goes, the dialogue was really good and interesting. Especially between the character of Donald Young and Shahin, one of the terrorists. I disagree with some of the other reviewer. Yes these are unknown actors but they did a good job, especially Atiq Rahman and Charles Garcia. Also the movie didn't look cheap at all. I mean you can tell that this is low budget indie film. But it's well done. It definitely kept my attention. Also the ending was a pretty big surprise. I would say it's worth watching.
