	Hostage (2005/I)
		A failed police negotiator turned small town cop, must save the lives of a family held hostage, which draws him into a much more dangerous situation.
		It seems to have all the elements of the Bruce Willis action movie, so one might think it cannot surprise anymore.
		Bottom line is, Hostage is a good pick not only for the action/thriller fan, but also for any movie goer.

	American Experience \| Jimmy Carter \| People & Events
		The hostage crisis was the most dramatic in a series of problems facing Americans at home and abroad in the last year of the Carter presidency.
		It's hard to say, since the hostage crisis was merely the latest event in the long and complex relationship between the United States and Iran.
		Carter's all-night effort to bring the 52 hostages home before the end of his term, documented by an ABC television crew in the Oval Office, fell short; the Iranians released them minutes after Reagan was inaugurated.

	Hostage Negotiation Research
		In 1996 a database of hostage and barricade incidents was developed in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
		Each hostage and barricade incident is examined with respect to location, number of perpetrators, number of hostages, number of persons killed and/or injured, duration, weapons used, and outcome.
		This basic goal of this study is to examine the characteristics of those hostage and barricade situations that police hostage negotiation teams most commonly encounter in their day to day operation.

	Hostage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hostage taking is often politically motivated or intended to raise a ransom (in kind of money) or to enforce an exchange (against other hostages or even condemned convicts).
		An acute situation where hostages are kept in a building or a vehicle that has been taken over by armed terrorists or common criminals is often called a hostage crisis.
		The word "hostage" is sometimes used metaphorically, for example "The failure of the plans showed that yet again the whole matter was hostage to one traffic delay caused by unannounced roadworks stopping a man from catching a plane.

	Iran hostage crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Iran hostage crisis was a 444-day period during which the new government of Iran after the Iranian Revolution held hostage 66 diplomats and citizens of the United States.
		The hostages come home, as celebrated on the streets of Washington, D.C. Shortly after the election, the Carter administration, with the assistance of intermediaries such as Algerian diplomat Abdulkarim Ghuraib, opened fruitful negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
		Former hostages Dr. William Daugherty (who worked for the CIA in Iran), Kevin Hermening, David Roeder, U.S. Army Col. Charles Scott (Ret.), and U.S. Navy Capt. Donald Sharer (Ret.) have alleged that Iran's later president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (elected 2005) was among the hostage takers.

	The Aisle Seat - Hostage
		The very thing that makes Hostage so good is the very same thing that may likely kill its chances at the box office: this film goes to some dark places.
		Unfortunately, Hostage loses some plausibility as it goes on; however, the movie continues to work because, even in the most unlikely scenes, it achieves a sense of eerie intensity.
		Hostage is rated R for strong graphic violence, language and some drug use.

	Iran hostage crisis. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In the United States, failure to resolve the crisis contributed to Ronald Reagan’s defeat of Carter in the presidential election.
		On Jan. 20, 1981, the day of President Reagan’s inauguration, the United States released almost $8 billion in Iranian assets and the hostages were freed after 444 days in Iranian detention; the agreement gave Iran immunity from lawsuits arising from the incident.
		In 2000 former hostages and their survivors sued Iran under the 1996 Antiterrorism Act, which permits U.S. citizens to sue foreign governments in cases of state-sponsored terrorism.

	The Hostage Crisis in Iran
		President Carter committed himself to the safe return of the hostages while protecting America's interests and prestige.
		He pursued a policy of restraint that put a higher value on the lives of the hostages than on American retaliatory power or protecting his own political future.
		The toll of patient diplomacy was great, but President Carter's actions brought freedom for the hostages with America's honor preserved.

		HOSTAGE is the story of Jeff Talley (think Bruce Willis!), a former LAPD SWAT negotiator who quit his job and left his family due to serious stress, burnout, and guilt over a hostage negotiation that turned bad.
		HOSTAGE is an adrenaline surge that will have the heart pounding and the blood racing, clearly illustrating why Robert Crais is considered the MAN. He's able to create true-to-life characters that breathe with authenticity...characters that could very well be your next-door neighbor or the person you work with.

	Hostage Negotiator
		To become a hostage negotiator a person first needs to become a law-enforcement or corrections officer in a department that has negotiators.
		Do you or I really care that a person who is holding 3 people hostage was locked in a closet by his mother when he was twelve and forced to wear high heels and stockings.
		When time is of the essence and lives are at stake police negotiators must rely heavily on their ability to use the “street psychology” they have developed and the training they have received to diffuse the situation.

		A hostage situation is a law-enforcement worst-case scenario, because it places innocent civilians directly in harm's way.
		Armed intervention becomes very risky, since the hostages themselves can be harmed either by stray bullets or by the hostage-takers.
		A skilled negotiator must find out what the hostage-taker wants, who he or she is and what it will take to achieve a peaceful outcome, all while ensuring the safety of the hostages and other bystanders.

	Hostage
		On the flipside, Hostage isn't patriotic; it's grim and nihilistic and excreted from a masterplots machine that finds John McClane transmogrified into ticking-off-the-numbers John Talley, and his cowboy motto twisted into the inscrutable "Captain Wooba is gonna save Planet Xenon." Doesn't exactly get the blood pounding in the same shade of red, white, and blue.
		Tommy and Jenny are the all-American spawn of greasy underworld accountant Walter (Kevin Pollak), their dysfunctional triad set against Chief Talley's own dysfunctional triad, with Willis' own daughter, Rumer, playing his screen daughter and asked mainly to histrionic for a moment before spending the rest of this mess screaming into a gag or a hood.
		What I'm saying is that Hostage exploits our instinct to protect and fear for children--our desire to keep them from getting stabbed in the face and/or raped, for instance--for the sole purpose of providing Willis with the opportunity to have one of the most unintentionally hilarious crying scenes in the brief history of film.

		With Hostage, it looked like Willis was taking a step back into the dramatic thriller that has garnered him such success, and it looked like just the type of film that I would enjoy him best in.
		Being in his jurisdiction, Talley is the man in charge of breaking down the hostage negotiations, but he decides it best to defer control over to the county Sheriff's office.
		Hostage is the type of film that is easy to sit back and watch, because there is never a dull moment in the story.

		Hostage opens with "Child's Spirit," a cue whose theme is wordless sung by Deplat's daughter Antonia.
		Hostage shows the composer growing in new ways, and as much as I enjoy his classically-oriented scores, I was mesmerized in this case by his action cues.
		Hostage is proving to be one of the year's best scores and I recommend you forget about his misstep with The Upside of Anger and latch on to Hostage before it's taken away.

		The hostage takers are masked, dressed in fl, heavily armed, and include both men and a handful of women.
		The hostage takers' initial demands, reportedly, were twofold: the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya and the release of the 27-30 militants arrested in Ingushetia after the 21-22 June multiple raids there.
		The Beslan hostage taking does, however, substantiate the argument adduced repeatedly by both Putin and pro-Moscow Chechen leaders that there is no point in engaging in peace talks with Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov because he does not control most of the militants fighting in Chechnya.

	‘Hostage’ guilty of overkill - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
		Such is the case with the new Bruce Willis police drama, “Hostage,” which fatally hypes up a simple, time-tested plot by adding elements of “Die Hard,” “Death Wish,” “Home Alone” and half a dozen other movies that resist being squeezed into this package.
		If other hostage movies are content with one endangered family, “Hostage” feels the need to give us two (this really should be called "Hostages").
		As Jeff Talley, a Los Angeles hostage negotiator who quits his job because he fails to save a woman and her child, Willis may seem a little more vulnerable than usual — he even sheds tears on occasion — but he shows us little he hasn’t revealed before in similar circumstances.
