Leslie Felperin Guardian As cheesy as the dairy aisle, but decent fun to watch. Rated: 2/5 Jul 20, 2021 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Nearly all the characters are connected, but nothing makes sense. Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Your garden-variety hostage thriller with most of the clichés yet none of the thrills. Rated: 2/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Gregory Wakeman The National (UAE) Rogue Hostage still falls short. Its painful opening only leads to an adequate middle, while its finale is both predictable and lacklustre. Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review Does everything in such a joyless fashion that it can't even muster simplistic thrills in a "so bad it's good" type of way. Rated: 1.5/5 Jun 17, 2021 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment This wouldn't be the worst film to watch if you stumbled across it on your TV. Rated: 4/10 Jun 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Anonymous B Malkovich, Taylor and Sanchez are the only likeable characters. This movie is bad, don't waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Michael B Terrible just everything about it was unbelievably poorly done. I couldn’t turn it off maybe bc I was in shock of how awful it was. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Laurie S there were some fairly good bits, some okay bits, but the ridiculous bits lost it one star. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Rudy A This movie is the reason I began reviewing movies. To save movie lovers the trouble of discovering what a disappointment some movies can be and pointing them in the direction of great movies. It was absolutely the most slow burning movie I’ve ever seen. to think a movie that was released in 2021 with some great actors was this horrible is crazy. Usually when I see a well known actor I give the movie a shot, but I should have came on here and seen the dozens of horrible reviews and saved myself 1 and half hours of pain. I don’t understand how Tyrese had multiple chances to grab the gun and put this guy out of his misery but yet continued to get beat up. And then the characters dying and coming back to life everything in this was highly confusing. This movie was literally a script written out of boredom and the budget must have been spent all on the three main characters because other than them being in this no one would have probably gave it a chance this is a tubi movie mixed in with clickbait actors. Definitely one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. I don’t know how I watched it to end l, maybe hoping that it would get better but I swear I could have recorded this movie off my iPhone and edited it in a weekend. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Dave V Kind of slow moving. It was ok, but I will never understand why people chat instead of just putting a bullet in their head right when you get the drop. I am shooting you immediately..no talk. It was ok, but definitely not great. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Audience Member The acting was pathetic. The story SLOOOOW. Seriously wondering why John Malkovich accepted this role. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
