A police woman & de kidnapper play a game of cat and mouse; dat's nothing new. De movie is abt corruption within de highest ranks & even if de heroine thinks dat dis can't be glossed over & go unpunished nowadays, de audience will probably doubt that. What's good is how de revelations constantly change de characters' interactions, though.

VERDICT _ Even though de tension is mainly created through de conversations & de danger in which de hostages are in, there are also some action scenes. Laudably, these don't drag on & fit well in2 de rest of de movie, even though we are clearly not dealing wid an action movie.
