Never say no to a hostage-taker. It’s in the manual.
The Negotiator is a taut action-thriller centered on police negotiator Danny Roman, portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson. Roman is framed for embezzlement and the murder of his partner and, in a desperate attempt to clear his name, takes hostages at the Chicago Internal Affairs Division. He demands that another expert negotiator, Chris Sabian (played by Kevin Spacey), handle the situation, believing Sabian to be neutral and objective.

I watched the 2021 Disney’s Jungle Cruise on Netflix DVD. This fantasy adventure film was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown, Non-Stop, The Commuter) and is based on Walt Disney’s eponymous theme park attraction. It tells the story of the captain of a small riverboat who takes a scientist and her brother through a jungle in search of the Tree of Life while competing against a German expedition and cursed conquistadors. The filming took place in Hawaii and Georgia, from May through September of 2018.
