Hostage Syndrome

Directed by Eddie Rodriguez

Synopsis

After rewatching this for the first time since 88' I can truely say this is an unique and special viewing experiance. It's biggest crime only being how little attention it got during its era.The overall camera work was ahead if its time. An amazing feet not only concidering the budget but also the technology available at the time. The slow and long shots in the begining is an incredible contrast to the close-up, claustrophobic shots later on in the film. This technique honestly speaks for itself, converging the anxiety and stress the characters feeling.The story and the motivations of characters always had me captivate, even to the very end. It's twists and turns always has the viewer on toes, intrigued of what it is that will happen next.Also, an incredible performance by the man at exactly 1:15:00, don't think my score would even be half has high if it weren't for him.Would definetly recommend.
