My general opinion of this movie is along the same lines as most of the others that you can read below and above. My girlfriend and I took this movie out on a whim last week, and were very glad we did; we hadn't heard of it before, but saw that it had a fairly good cast, although the title was crap (in the UK it was released under the name 'Hostile Hostages'). As it was, the story was rather unimpressive; as correctly stated, it was hardly original. There were also one or two bits which were rather annoying, for example, the incompetent cops; what was the point? It just detracted from the rest of the movie. That said, a large part of the dialogue was sparkling, and as far as bickering goes, it was first class. Oh, and the ending was fairly crappy, but you excuse things like that when you've generally enjoyed what you've seen and heard. Overall, not a classic, but well worth the entire 99p we paid to hire it.
