Excellent Movie!!
The Negotiator is one of my favorite movies of all time. Samuel L. Jackson playes a hostage negotiator who is framed for embezzlement and the murder of his partner. Hoping to clear his name, he confronts his boss, only to be attacked and forced into becoming the hostage-taker. This is where the fun begins. Not only is he a hostage negotiator himself, but the team in...

Action Jackson.
Samuel L. Jackson has become quite adept at portraying intense characters who are both likeable and bothersome. His cop in "The Negotiator" is a desperate man, who although perhaps innocent of the charges against him is certainly capable of having done them. By taking hostages, he automatically guarantees himself prison time even if he is exonerated of the...

The Negotiator (1998), Mai 26 2004
Director: F. Gary Gray
Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Ron Rifkin, John Spencer, J.T. Walsh.
Running Time: 135 minutes.
Rated R for violence and language.When the director has the lucky chance to work with not just one, but TWO of the most exceptional modern actions of the past decade, he should have been licking his chops in anticipation. Director F. Gary Gray (whose previous work was with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker in "Friday") uses the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey to his advantage, creating a fast-paced action-drama that uses both actors as chess pieces that are intertwined in a suspenseful race against time. Jackson stars as an extremely successful hostage negotiatior who loses his partner in an accident. When he is framed for the accident as murder, he takes matters into his own hands by taking hostages himself. Kevin Spacey is the top-of-the-line officer assigned to assist the police department with consultations with Jackson, only to find himself in the most unique hostate situation he has ever encountered. Both must learn to trust each other, with Jackson attempting to find the true answers about his partner's death and Spacey trying to keep his incredible reputation in tact. Gray does a fine job using the intense script (which unfortunately does have a few logical lapses), producing a motion picture that possesses all the essential ingredients to be a successful and enteraining flick. Jackson is very good in the lead role, while Spacey is as his usual best. Although F. Gary Gray was lucky enough to have excellent people for support, he does a fine job pulling off one of the better action thrillers of the year.

An Smart Action/Thriller., Mai 11 2004
One of the finest Police Hostage Negotiator:Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson) is framed for murdering his best friend (Paul Guilfoyle) and for embezzling money from his union`s pension fund. When nobody doesn`t want to believe him for not killing his partner & embezzling money. He decides to takes Hostages & try to clear his name. The only person, who could help him in this Situation is another Top Negotiator (Two Time Oscar-Winner:Kevin Spacey).Directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, A Man Apart, Set It Off) made a entertaining, suspenseful, action-thriller made surprisingly believable, thanks to Jackson & Spacey terrific performances and especially the Supporting Cast are Strong. The film wasn`t a Hit, when it was release in the Summer of 1998, despite Good Reviews by Critics & Audiences, who seen the film. This film did much better on Video. The Script might have some logic lapses but it`s a gripping & well-made taut thriller. Gray`s Best Film to Date. Written by James DeMonaco & Kevin Fox. Super 35. Grade:A-.

Action Jackson., Avril 13 2004
Samuel L. Jackson has become quite adept at portraying intense characters who are both likeable and bothersome. His cop in "The Negotiator" is a desperate man, who although perhaps innocent of the charges against him is certainly capable of having done them. By taking hostages, he automatically guarantees himself prison time even if he is exonerated of the murder charges against him, and yet this character cannot help but be likeable and sympathetic in Jackson's hands. Kevin Spacey's negotiator is both arrogant and clever, and the climax of the film shows his expertise at both negotiation and deception. A good suspenseful action film, with Jackson at times over the top but always in charge.

Kevin Spacey and Samuel Jackson are stunning!, Janv. 13 2004
I've seen this one a couple of times -- the first time it was a little tough to follow (maybe I was just a little slow that day), but the second time it made much more sense. At points it gets a little tricky to keep the good guys and bad guys sorted out. Overall I would rate this as a highly enjoyable movie, primarily on the strength of the performances by Samuel Jackson and Kevin Spacey. Both of them do a bang-up job (no pun intended).Jackson plays Danny Roman, a good cop who is falsely accused of skimming from the police pension fund. When the frame-up looks too solid to escape, Roman resorts to taking some hostages at the police station to buy the two things he needs the most -- the time and the information to prove his innocence. He begins to interrogate some of the hostages, several of whom are close friends, and to pick information from some sensitive computer files. Gradually he begins to uncover an ugly conspiracy involving corruption at various levels of the police department, but every question he answers seems to lead to two more. In the meantime, the police respond to the hostage crisis and call in expert hostage negotiator Chris Sabian (played by Spacey) to "talk down" the apparently volatile Danny Roman. While Roman is predictably cast as a very sympathetic character, Sabian remains an unknown factor until the very end of the movie, a consummate professional whose loyalties and intentions can never quite be pinpointed. Roman is never sure from one moment to the next if Sabian is ally or enemy. As the movie progresses, there are a number of action sequences of increasing intensity as those behind the corruption conspiracy make one attempt after another to silence Roman while his credibility is still worthless and before his discoveries can be made public. These efforts are not lost on Sabian, who starts to think that there may be some fire behind Roman's smoke, but still never cuts Roman any slack. I don't want to spoil the ending for those who haven't seen it, but let it suffice to say that it had a suspenseful and unexpected twist that kept the with spirit of the rest of the movie. Needless to say, the good guys win, but I'm not going to drop any hints about how. You'll have to watch it for yourself, but I can say with some confidence that you'll be glad you did. Excellent flick.

Negotiator is scary, Avril 14 2003
When I saw this I was thinking oh my goodnes what would I do in this situation? A cop takes people hostage?!? And you will wonder that too. In this movie the good guys and the bad guys are hard to tell apart. Whom can you trust? The guy who I realy thought is a great actor is the one who played in Big Fat Liar, remember him? He was the mean studio giuy who stole a script idea, remember? Anyway he's here in this one also. Oh by the way don't forget to make sure you have the right DVD code cause once I bought some in Europe and they never worked here in my house. I am Harold McInnes.

Excellent Movie!!, Janv. 13 2003
The Negotiator is one of my favorite movies of all time. Samuel L. Jackson playes a hostage negotiator who is framed for embezzlement and the murder of his partner. Hoping to clear his name, he confronts his boss, only to be attacked and forced into becoming the hostage-taker. This is where the fun begins. Not only is he a hostage negotiator himself, but the team in charge of taking him out is compiled mostly of those he has worked with all of these years. He uses this to his advantage, playing mind games, and staying one step ahead. This movie is full of action and suspense. You may have seen hostage situations portrayed in other films, but nothing compares to the brilliance you will find here.

Great Moving Movie, Déc 20 2002
This is a great action/suspense movie. Samuel L. Jackson is a police officer framed for the murder of his partner. In an attempt to clear his name, he takes hostage members of the Internal Affairs department who are accusing him of the crime. But, it is going to be hard to talk him down from the building, as he himself, is a hostage negotiator.As I have always believed. . . Kevin Spacey is brilliant. He doesn't disappoint here either. He is only a supporting role here, but that is how he won his first Oscar. He is called in to negotiate with the negotiator. . . This movie is compelling at every turn. The characters are well developed when needed to be. I do enjoy the fact that the stars of the movie have normal looking wives, not Hollywood Starlets. These are supposed to be cops, not big stars. They pull it off so well (at least what I would think a real police officer would be like, as I am not one). The suspense is good, never too extraneous. Overall, this movie is great. I love how it moves, and I love how it was shot. epc

"Good but not what I expected...", Déc 3 2002
Let's face it. The Negotiator is not the best action thriller around. If you are looking for a movie with a lot of action (by that I mean fist-fights, shootouts, and explosions), then this is not the movie for you. The Negotiator is more of a physocological thriller with several bad twists and some good unexpected turns. Though it features a good cast, the story lacks intensity and the script is too long. The Negotiator quickly pulls us in from the beginning and then wastes a good 75 minutes showing how Samuel L. Jackson hijacks a building and takes hostages and then makes his amazing escape. Plot twists like this are horrible because they keep sticking on one main idea, and then BAAM!, the whole concept of the movie switches over. Though supported with a good cast and some good turns, the Negotiator is something you should probably rent before buying.The Negotiator tells the story of Danny Roman (Jackson), a cop from Chicago who learns from his partner that several cops from his group are stealing money from the police fund. But before Jackson could deep digger into the mystery, his partner is brutally murdered and Roman is framed for it. Left with no choice but to prove himself innocent, Roman hijacks a police building. He calls on negotiator Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey), to help him but for at least half of the movie, we do not know what side Spacey is on. Anyway, the battle soon begins as Roman takes on Sabian in a battle of intelligence. But will Roman have enough time to prove his innocence? As I stated before, the Negotiator is not a must-buy. Catch it on TV some time or rent it but its not worth it. It was a bit boring the first time I watched it. Not recommended but good for a thriller. Movie: The Negotiator
Actors/Actresses: Kevin Spacey, Samuel L. Jackson, David Morse
Time: 140 minutes.
Rated R for some scenes of violence, language, and some scenes of terrorized-like killing.

Excellent movie, Oct. 19 2002
Pros:
1) Samuel Jackson's best work yet. He plays a police who gets caught in a web of lies and has to get himself out by doing the exact opposite of he police work.
2) Gives you insight on police negotiating.
3) Learn about police corruption
4) A lot of action, mystery, and drama.Cons:
1)No DVD features worth really buying this DVD. I got it for a gift for my husband. A very good movie.
