Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

tplayer49 Very slow moving and predictable. So many things in here that would never happen to the point of ridiculousness. Especially at the end when a gun is shot out of someone's hand... with the area surrounded by cops. And no one got the ricochet? Really?

TonyMontana96 (Originally reviewed: 31/01/2017) The Negotiator is one of those films you expect to be by the numbers and clichéd, while it may not be a masterpiece, it's one of the smarter and consistently entertaining films of its genre, letting the actors go out and sell their role, in which they most certainly do. Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey are brilliant, there chemistry is undeniably impressive, the supporting cast are respectable and the film is well written to an extent. There may have been a few clichés, but the second half of the picture is so engaging, I kept wanting to know what happened next, to which I was always surprised by this picture's twists and turns, which I find most refreshing.The first half may be slow in parts, but as soon as the hour mark hit's the Negotiator is pulse pounding, absorbing and one hell of a film, there's no need to check your watch as the story is intriguing, fast paced and always going somewhere. Overall this is very good entertainment with lively dialogue and two stand out performances.

Amit Bohra When u have Samuel Jackson and Kevin Spacey in a film you know the acting is going to be good . apart from that the movie is average at best . predictable twists and turns seem part of the whole movie. the movie starts at a good pace . After the initial 15-20 minutes all hell breaks loose. The desperation shown by Samuel seems unwarranted . but would say the movie is watchable for the acting and screenplay . It is an totally commercial film . the other officers are only making tough faces and talking tough . what the movie lacks is suspense and realism . Kevin was also not completely utilized in his role . friend turned foe has been tried , tested and abused since ages in Hollywood .

kylehaines96 The Negotiator is directed by F. Gary Gray who also directed Friday and Set It Off comes The Negotiator. Now unlike Friday and Set It Off which were deemed Box Office Sucsesses earning more than there budget back, The Negotiator was a Box Office Failure failing to bring back 6 million dollars from it's budget. The budget was $50,000,000 and it only brought back $44,000,000, which is a shame because this was a great film.The film tells the story of Danny Roman played by Samuel L. Jackson whose job is to be a hostage negotiator. One day he is framed by the police for embezzlement and murder. Upset with being wrongly framed Roman takes hostages to get to the bottom of what happened. He meets fellow hostage negotiator Chris Sabian played by Kevin Spacey who walks Danny through everything. Pretty soon the clock starts running out and Danny must choose a fate between Life and Death.This is a great movie that threw me for a loop even at times I didn't even see it coming. This movie does not use the same old tired formula, It decides to take a very different turn and thats a good thing. The acting is phenomenal, The story is well conceived and there is real chemistry between the two leads who play off each other very well. If you have not seen this I would recommend it for anybody that wants a taste of something different.Rated R For Violence And Language.2hrs 20min/140min.86 uses of the F-word.****/****
