A British comedy thriller about five people caught in an unfolding terrorism situation. After a terrifying explosion in a hotel in London, three strangers escape together and hide out in a room. Hostages is a fresh take on the 24hr news cycle and whether or not social media is more important than people's lives.

Heavily relying on its hit-or-miss dry comedic dialogue, the absurdity of the situation and its characters' ability to sustain engagement, all these elements thrown together don't quite come together. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dave B @Book66 Apr 3 what an awful film, a couple of funny moments, rest of film was ridiculous, they weren't hostages & their were no terrorists says it all. See more Jack T @RT24897817 Apr 2 Honestly made an account to say how terrible this movie is. It's labelled as a comedy/thriller, it's neither funny nor thrilling. Seen childrens TV that's more entertaining. This feels like the utter garbage that Sky Cinema was churning out on its originals. Its hard work to watch this movie See more Tejan T @RT30939574 Mar 30 this film was trash not enough character or personality development - lacking IQ in all characters too dry n basic skipping on easy decisions to make all the dumb ones See more Read all reviews
