Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
The Negotiator deserves a place among the best action/thrillers of the year. This is a Dog Day Afternoon for the '90s.

"The Negotiator" slogs on for two hours and 20 minutes, and there's hardly a real laugh or a genuine thrill in it.

Rating: B- --
Teaming for the first time Kevin Spacey and Samuel Jackson, arguably the two best actors of their generation, in perfectly fitting roles is a shrewd move and the best element of this fact-inspired but overwrought thriller

Rating: 7/10 --
...may lack a certain degree of common sense but makes up for it with plenty of excitement and suspense.

It's not perfect, but it's enjoyable enough to be one of those movies I might stop channel surfing to watch on late-night television.

A boring script filmed by a fine director and great actors is still a boring script.

What makes this talk-heavy actioner work is the intriguing battle of wits between two formidable, intelligent opponents.

Product Description:
Years ago, Shuhei Ishida and Maiko Tono were a star negotiating team for the Japanese police. They worked successfully as a pair under the police headquarters' "Negotiator System"--a system devised for targeting hostage situations in Japan--until rumors of a romantic affair broke them up and lost Maiko her job. Now stuck doing dull work in a filing room, Maiko is kept behind the scenes, until a hostage situation involving Ishida's wife and child prompts the estranged pair to reunite.
