When a long-time cop and decorated hostage negotiator is framed for his partner's murder, and he holes up in a federal building with hostages, who do they call? The OTHER NEGOTIATOR.
There's nothing wrong with this police crime action/drama. Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, and the rest of the cast do a fine job given the material. There are just so very few films that can pull off a central character drama when they bring in a second character in the same role.
I really want to make fun of their pagers, but sadly I still have one just like 'em. My employer's emergency response system requires them for some inane reason.
The Negotiator
1998, 140 minutes, directed by F. Gary Gray
