Hostage House

Definitely a straight to TV film- not all are bad. This one was better than some. However, the acting was a bit rubbish, the female bad guy was just awful. The decisions made throughout the film were stupid, and the reactions were just as bad. Still, I watched to the end.

I have bias towards anything thriller and crime movies, that even the bad ones would entertain me... And this movie did entertain me, despite being fully aware how awful it was. Each to their own I guess.

Decent first few minutes where police helicopter and then everything we cheaper than your usual Netflix standards. This felt like you had just gone to Aldi and shopped at the reduced section. Terrible acting, directing and screenplay. Don't waste your energy leaving a comment because this site never shows it anyway.

It has a very lifetime feel to it which isn't always a bad thing but this movie is slow, predictable and feels like it has been done 1000 times before and it has been done way better.

The acting wasn't horrible but it's definitely a bunch of B or even C list actors at best. There is no build up to things, it's just consistently slow. The bad guys don't seem bad or scary, the family are dull and their background story is just so run of the mill.

Overall it's something that you can just throw on for background noise vs actually sitting and paying attention to because the movie itself is not very entertaining. I gave it three stars because it's not the worst movie you will ever watch but you could definitely skip it and not have missed a thing!

I only kept watching so I could see how it ends. Bad stupid, script. Non-believable bad guys. This could have been good, but so unbelievably silly/dumb behavior by characters.
