Rating: 3/5 -- ike Mr. Jackson, Mr. Spacey cuts an impressively cryptic figure even when dealing in platitudes, and the two stars do get to make the sort of declarations that rarely crop up in everyday life.

Rating: 3.5/4 -- The movie's a thriller that really hums along, and I was intensely involved almost all the way. Only now, typing up my notes, do I fully realize how many formula elements it contains. Full Review

...Jackson has what is probably his juiciest role since PULP FICTION....A satisfyingly tense and booby-trapped thriller... -- Rating: B+

Rating: 3/5 -- A boring script filmed by a fine director and great actors is still a boring script. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- What makes this talk-heavy actioner work is the intriguing battle of wits between two formidable, intelligent opponents. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Jackson and Spacey, et al, demonstrate that even the most pedestrian script can be elevated by good acting.

Spacey plays Chris Sabian, a hostage specialist, the Negotiator, who comes in to try and defuse the situation and bring Roman in. He is not prepared for what he hears and the city isn't ready for what they do.
