Hostage Negotiator

What starts out as a career problem, turns into a nightmare, as the plot centers on and Ex FBI Agent and his wounded pride at his wife's success with the same organization as a hostage crisis negotiator. His jealousy is only tempered by his love and care for his children. Eventually things end up in the predictable scenario of her having to negotiate for her own children from her husband. While the plot unfolds predictably, the acting is believable and the end scenario holds a surprise. Good production values save this movie from obscurity. The writer gave no thought to the children as anything more than the prize objects. Not worth watching more than once. Just too predictable and lacking any interesting subplots.
