_The Negotiator_ is an intense thriller with Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey delivering incredible performances as two negotiators caught in a high-stakes hostage situation. The tension and suspense are evident throughout the film, with twists and turns that will keep you hooked. The script is well-written, the direction is top-notch, and the supporting cast is excellent.

Started out interesting and I like the premise but overall it fell a bit flat to me, felt more like a generic action movie to me and I feel like it wasted some potential. Samuel L. Jackson is amazing as ever ofcourse.
