THE NEGAOTIATOR(1998)
Pretty intense movie about Sam Jackson playing a cop being
framed for the murder of his partner who found out about
some dirty cops who swindled money out of the police
retirement fund! I'm not really fond of hostage type
of movies! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
For the most part, "The Negotiator" is kind of a cliche:
a Chicago hostage negotiator (Samuel L. Jackson) gets
framed for something and has to take hostages to prove
his point, so another negotiator (Kevin Spacey) is brought
in to talk everything over with him. But in this case,
there's the interesting balance of both men trying to
outdo the other. And among other things, this was one
of four movies in summer, 1998, that affirmed Paul
Giamatti's burgeoning presence in movies (the others
were "The Truman Show", "Dr. Dolittle" and "Saving
Private Ryan").
Anyway, this movie is worth seeing. You just might
learn some good things about hostage situations here.
