Visually stylish but highly improbable. Full Review

Hostage is all the pulp thriller Bruce Willis movies you've seen before.

Mostly a nerve jangling thriller, but you know there's something not quite right about a movie when you're wondering more about why such a plush mansion on fire doesn't have a better sprinkler system.

Rating: 2/4 -- It revels in a sort of operatic vulgarity. And once the story exhausts its over-the-top cheesiness, there are still a few loose ends to tie up, and so the film drags on.

Description by OLDIES.com:

Carol Burnett, one of America's all-time entertainment greats, is teamed with her real-life daughter in HOSTAGE - a tense mystery-melodrama.

Bonnie Lee (Carrie Hamilton) is a young girl who is falsely imprisoned for attempted murder only to escape after receiving death threats from her deranged father (Leon Russom). Martha (Carol Burnett) is a lonely widow who is caught in the cross hairs and taken hostage by Bonnie in order to draw attention to her plight. The two soon find themselves sharing a strange bond on the run from the police as they track down Bonnie's biological mother - the only one who can prove her innocence.

Emmy Award Winner Carol Burnett gives a brilliant performance in a dramatic turn as the emotionally shattered widow, and with chemistry to spare, her late daughter Carrie Hamilton proves the perfect counter point. HOSTAGE crackles with drama, brims with mystery and is not to be missed for the first time on DVD.
