Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews So-so Mexican comedy-thriller. Rated: C Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post The movie often takes a dead serious tone but then tries to inject moments of fun and wackiness, creating a jarring contrast that undermines the overall narrative. Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com A mix between a comedy about a marital crisis, and a thriller about the ups and downs of a kidnapping linked to the highest spheres of Mexican politics. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Stands out for its ability to laugh at itself and at the clichés of the genre. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jul 30, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider It’s hard to dislike Non Negotiable -- it boasts a strong premise, and even though it strands a few too many baserunners, it still ekes out a win. Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com This comedy-thriller movie is entertaining in pockets but forgettable as a whole. Rated: 2/5 Jul 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay W I am willing to negociate: Most of the charm of "Non-Negotiable" is not in what is being presented, but how it is presented. The story itself doesn't sound all that special. A hostage negotiator has to handle a terrorist situation where both the president and his wife are being held hostage. The film is a tight 77 minutes, but what they choose to show is interesting. For example, during the hostage situation, our main character, Bender, calls the babysitter to let her know that they will be running late. The babysitter then asks for Tuesday off, and Bender tells her that Tuesday doesn't work, maybe Wednesday. Your wife is being held hostage, why are you trying to haggle with your babysitter? It also shows the police trying to clear the building and focuses on how all the people are partying and don't want to leave. One of the cops eats some cannabis infused gummy bears. And they have some funny jokes with the daughter. I can understand why this movie isn't very well liked. The action isn't that good. The story isn't that original. And it isn't funny enough to be considered a great comedy. So, although I acknowledge that this isn't a great movie. I don't hate it; I find it's strangeness charming. But most will find that the lack of quality action and comedy, non-negotiable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review SkyRo P "Non Negotiable" is a movie available on Netflix, but it is not in English, so there is a significant amount of dubbing in the music, film, and storyline. As I began watching, I anticipated a foreign film with depth, but the voiceovers seemed out of sync with the characters. The script appeared poorly written, leading me to wonder if it was originally crafted in another country or if the dubbing was simply comical. The attempt to transform the film into something more than it was resulted in a chaotic narrative involving a poodle and a puppy, which ultimately made it a poorly executed and disappointing experience. I would not recommend this film to anyone due to its lackluster writing and overall execution. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Joe P It’s a Mexican movie, it has a good story, it is not action filled or very thrilling but it’s enjoyable, It could like a Mexican money heist but kidnapping the president instead of robbing money Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
