The film goes awry towards the middle of it.
It starts off quite well when the U.S. embassy in Bucharest, Romania is taken hostage by Serbian terrorists.
We have the usual threats and intimidation. We have the usual demands but things go way out of control when the person the terrorists are negotiating for is killed by a Croatian and the Americans must come up with a substitute to fool the Serbs.
Darryl Hannah's role is quite perplexing. When she turns out to be a villain, she is still adored by film's end. Her role in this was somewhat of an enigma, even though it is explained by the film's end.
Naturally, the theme of money being the root of all evil is examined here as well.
A very muddled ending does not help the film at all.
The special effects are quite good, and there is plenty of screaming by the hostages.
Tom Berrenger comes across like a military know-it-all.
