The Negotiator

Fast paced, well made thriller about a framed police negotiator (Jackson) who takes hostages and demands to speak with a counterpart from another precinct (Spacey). Powerful performances from both stars and great support from Giamatti, Morse, Rifkin and the great J.T.Walsh who ignite the flame to this shocker from start to finish.
