It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

As a longtime Sam Neill fan :), I'll say this film is absolute tripe! Usually, he is a high-caliber actor but in this production he is an absolute rip-off of James Bond. Sorry, Sam Neill, I'm not beating you down but you can do better! Watch for "True Lies" villain Art Malik playing a good(?) guy. SPOILER SPOILER: Just to save you time and money, Sam Neill, despite his character being a crude, gets the girl in the end. ** stars out of ***** stars.

It seemed that this movie might be a steamy, sexy action thriller with Talisa Soto, but I soon found out after ten minutes of watching that this was just another boring spy flick with people shooting faceless villains and guys in suits looking mean. The plot is boring and so is most of the action. The romance isn't very steamy either, and there is no cache of naked babes as the box art would imply. Hostage tries too hard to be James Bond, and fails miserably.
