Oh Dear. Oh dear, oh dear...

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is so bad that I've registered on IMDb just to say how bad it truly was. The setup is okay as is the plot twist (the "victim" of the hostage takers is actually a psychopathic serial killer who has murdered the real homeowners) and as for the acting, really I just pity the actors: there wasn't really much they could do. The promising start quickly descends into super-stupidity as revenge crazed cop father of cop son - shot by Solimeno earlier - merrily orders his men to their deaths, or to murder anyone in sight (luckily his Keystone Cop "marksmen" can't hit a cow's backside with a banjo) and a released (oops!) Zane uses his Amazing Kitchen Knife Man supervillain powers to kill red shirt armed police faster than anyone can blink. While the first half is played straight, it's almost as if the writers realised how ridiculous the whole thing was and so decided to put in some slightly witty dialogue and add a "comedy" tag to cover themselves. Watch with your brain taken out and put in a jar.
