Hostage Movie Synopsis

Devastated by an unspeakable tragedy while on the job as a hostage negotiator for the LAPD, Jeff Tally (Bruce Willis) resigns and accepts a low-profile job as the chief of police in the sleepy town of Bristo Camino in Ventura County. On a slow Monday morning Talley's job becomes anything but quiet and sets him on a course that could change not only his professional but personal life forever.

When three delinquent teenagers follow a family home, intending to steal their car, they get more than they bargained for. The trio finds themselves trapped in a multi-million dollar compound on the outskirts of town with no way of escape. Panicked, they take the family hostage, placing Talley in a situation he never wanted to face again.

  A bit stupid and boring. Didn't enjoy it as much as other movies done by Willis - of course, they all seem to be the same lately.

Has to be one of the greatest action movies ever! Nail-biting suspence and loads of action all come together for one-hell-of-a-show! 5 stars

Thrilling,and chacked with suspense and action! Thriller of the year!
