An overly familiar hostage action/drama bolstered by the charisma of it's two stars. It's all very formulaic but watchable enough.

The commanding performances by the lead cast elevate this thriller to an exciting and interesting rollercoaster ride. Samuel L. Jackson is best at playing a desperate man and here, the script smartly continues to elevate the stakes to seemingly insurmountable heights. It's a little farfetched at times, but it never loses its entertainment value.

The Negotiator is a great action mystery. I feel it does not get a lot of recognition, but the story is very good. Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey are great in all their scenes together. Their dialogue in this movie are great. The side characters are also well acted and interesting.

This was definitely one of Jackson's better movies. While he can't let go of his typical loud mouth tough guy character which can be very annoying, that didn't get in the way of the overall plot. This plot was actually very solid and executed almost flawlessly. Also its hard for things to go too badly when Kevin Spacey is a co-star. He's brilliant as always.

I loved this, especially the relationship between Kevin Spacey and his daughter. Also Samuel L. Jackson's performance was great.

This was a pretty good movie. It had some really good action and a decent plot - but was it good enough and real enough? Yes, to be a good movie, but not to be a great movie. Still, Jackson was almost perfect.

One of those films where deception plays a key role and you don't know who you should trust. Jackson and Spacey make a decent pairing as two highly-skilled hostage negotiators. It's not either of their greatest films, but its good enough.
