Ellen E Jones
Independent (UK)
We can enjoy the exhilarating ride you'd expect from exec producer Jerry "Blow 'em up" Bruckheimer. Say what you will about Con Air and Armageddon, but this guy knows how to hold an audience's attention.

Suspense-filled from the get-go, Hostages revolves around a family full of secrets.

There are, of course, subplots - Sanders' husband (Tate Donovan) and teenaged kids are each shielding their own secrets, uncovered by Carlisle and his crew - and covered up by them as well. Unfortunately, they're fairly pedestrian.
