I'll be there Friday night. However, since my fiancee and I trade movie picks, I still have to convince her that there, in fact, was a movie between Assault on Precinct 13 and this one.
Well, the fact that no one's posted on this movie all week and it's opening today is pathetic. So everyone who failed to post, unless you're going to be first in line for the new Cartoon opening today, there you go.
That reminds me, I'm going to have to sift through all of the 8-year olds tonight when I'm getting my Hostage tickets. Hopefully most of them will be on leashes.
Anyways, since no one seems interested in this film, I'll report on Monday or something after I see it.
The premise sounds good. I'm sure there will be flaws as in every big-budget thriller. What I had heard about it was that the teenaged robbery turns into a hostage situation and Willis' family is put in a hostage situation as well. Only whoever is making the demands will let Willis' family live at the expense of the first family's lives.
Can't share anything but speculation on a movie that wasn't even promoted until 2 1/2 weeks before its debut, you know? People will talk about it once they see it.
I saw "Robots" this morning, and it was fantastic.
Just saw this. Good for action but don't expect anything too thought provolking. The end tries to turn it almost into a horror movie and I get a mixed "The Shining"/"Carrie" vibe. Overall was entertaining though, and it is pretty ruthless for an action flick.

I love watching Bruce Willis in movies. I had a bad rap when it come down to actually acting back in the day when he was an action star, but I guess Pulp Fiction turned people's heads.
I think he is a fairly good actor. Not the greatest but he himself has never ruined a movie for me. Infact, I think he helps draw me into movies. I wouldn't have seen Hostage if it were Travolta, but Willis pulled me in.
