As cheesy as the dairy aisle, but decent fun to watch. Go to Full Review

Nearly all the characters are connected, but nothing makes sense. Go to Full Review

2/5
Your garden-variety hostage thriller with most of the clichés yet none of the thrills. Go to Full Review
Gregory Wakeman The National (UAE) 08/06/2021
Rogue Hostage still falls short. Its painful opening only leads to an adequate middle, while its finale is both predictable and lacklustre. Go to Full Review
Peter Gray The AU Review 06/17/2021
1.5/5
Does everything in such a joyless fashion that it can't even muster simplistic thrills in a "so bad it's good" type of way. Go to Full Review

Anonymous B @AnonBunnie Sep 21 Malkovich, Taylor and Sanchez are the only likeable characters. This movie is bad, don't waste your time. See more Michael B @RT78177718 01/21/2025 Terrible just everything about it was unbelievably poorly done. I couldn’t turn it off maybe bc I was in shock of how awful it was. See more Laurie S @Karlwinters 01/04/2025 there were some fairly good bits, some okay bits, but the ridiculous bits lost it one star. See more Dave V @MBgolfee 05/18/2024 Kind of slow moving. It was ok, but I will never understand why people chat instead of just putting a bullet in their head right when you get the drop. I am shooting you immediately..no talk. It was ok, but definitely not great. See more WizzardOfPaws T @RT42794160 05/12/2024 The acting was pathetic. The story SLOOOOW. Seriously wondering why John Malkovich accepted this role. See more Test T @TestTest1 11/07/2023 At the start when we're supposed to be getting to know the main character, we get subtitles and flashbacks. This guy is combat damaged, with lots of confused feelings, but we move on to the hostage scene with indifference and, guess what, it's a supermarket with pink lighting! Annoyingly, the script requires the cast to make little speeches from time to time to let the viewer know what they are thinking. Then there's the un-special effect, which verge on sillyness. For example, at the end there's an explosion, where a pile of empty cardboard box's lean against our hero a bit before they fall on him. I ask you, is this the best they could do? I did not like this movie at all. See more Read all reviews
