Hostage

Just got back from the movie theater with my wife, and we checked out the new Bruce Willis movie, Hostage. This is what I would consider to be Willis' best film ever, and is already on my list of favorite all-time movies. Part of what made me love the movie so much is when I thought I had things figured out part-way through, whispered my thoughts to my wife, and I turned out to be wrong. Probably happened three times. I love it when a movie keeps me guessing.

Anyway, Willis turned in an incredible performance. Yes, it was arguably the same character he played in Die Hard, but he displayed so much more depth and emotion in Hostage. He's really come a long way over the course of his career.

On a tangental note, it looks like his next big move is going to be a hit too, if the trailers are anything like the movie. That next film is Sin City, based on the comic, and has an unbelievable slate of talent. What caught my eye was the style ... it looks a lot like the comic. I can definitely see Tarantino's influence.

OK, enough rambling. Go see Hostage as if your family's life depended on it.
