Kevin Spacey 's real name is Kevin Fowler. It's one of the most absorbing films of the 90's. Samuel L. Jackson is passionate in his role as a negotiator who has been set up for the murder of his partner. Kevin Spacey's role is equally efficient. Apart from all this, the simple story is given complicated twists in order to keep the viewer interested.
Passion can make a film work.
It does here. An exciting tribute to the human spirit. The passion of Samuel L. Jackson is so fantastic to observe, that the plot holes at the end are easily forgotten. The music is suitably tense, there are some touching moments. Even though a little predictable, it was interesting to see how we would deal with Jackson's predicament.
