...and on the seventh day, he made Kevin Spacey.
As Kevin Spacey is my favorite actor and I love him, I will proceed to watch more of his movies. Moon counts.
This one is like a cool inverted version of Die Hard. But I love hostage movies like this because of the way they make you think; one false move and it's game over for mr. hostage taker.
What's neat about The Negotiator is it's pretty much the opposite of any traditional hostage movie. The usual format is as follows: Heroic-type protagonist established, sinister hostage-taker established, hostage takeover, clever and risky police victory.
The Negotiator, on the other hand, is a story of a police negotiator who is framed for a crime his comrades committed and starts a hostage takeover of a federal building to learn what has happened to him.
Pretty crazy. Samuel L. Jackson is great in this (as he is in everything), but I'm quite partial to my Kevin.
