The Negotiator (1998)

Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: F. Gary Gray
Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, David Morse
Time: 140 minutes

 


Lieutenant Danny Roman is an experienced and skilled hostage negotiator with the Chicago Police Department. After getting framed for the murder of his partner, over an embezzlement matter, Roman takes a few hostages and demands that Lieutenant Chris Sabian, the city’s other top hostage negotiator, leads the negotiations with him as he tries to prove his innocence.

The quality of this film relies greatly on the shoulders of Jackson and Spacey, who both offered great performances. The story itself is compelling, though some twists and turns were a bit overly stretched. The story dragged a bit and the movie felt a little long at times, but, overall, thanks to the acting performances, this was quite good.
