Reviews
While 'Hostage' has its thrilling moments and engaging premise, it falls short in its execution, according to critics. Rotten Tomatoes' consensus describes it as a 'mediocre thriller that fails to sustain suspense'. IMDb's rating of 4.8/10 reflects the mixed reception the film received. The New York Times critic mentioned, 'Despite the talented cast, the film struggles to maintain momentum and deliver a compelling narrative.' On the other hand, Metacritic reviews highlighted some suspenseful scenes and Neill's strong performance, but noted that the plot lacked originality and depth. Overall, 'Hostage' struggles to leave a lasting impression and fails to live up to its potential.
