“Hostage” (*1/2 out of four) was a brutally unpleasant melodrama which holds the viewers hostage about a young cheerleader (Nicole Henderson) who was adopted by the murderers of her parents; years later in the midst of a home invasion she learns more about her parents and has to decide what side she is on and what course of action she wants to take. An unlikely candidate for Family Movie Of The Year award as film immerses you in unlikeable characters and harsh scenarios. Film only runs an hour-and-19 minutes but runs out of steam even at that length. No relation to the 2005 Bruce Willis actioner of the same name although come to think of it- it does have a very similar story
