Bruce Willis was best in his years of ‘Die Hard’ mode. In ‘Hostage’, he returns as Jeff Talley, a likable police chief who decides to desk-job-it just a year after a negotiation gone wrong. But when his own family is part of a crooked secondary hold-up, he’s forced back on the streets to do what he does best: win us over with his charming Willis ways to save innocent families and conquer the world! Boston homeboy Jonathan Tucker plays the lead in a trio of corrupt punks, who invade the premises of a top business tycoon (Kevin Pollack) in the Canyon area of Los Angeles. The movie is a roller coaster ride of extreme violence and gut-wrenching decisions thanks to Willis who knows this scenario all too well. He should never do anything but ‘good cop’ because he’s just plain good at it.
