"Standoff" is one of those perfect films that I will watch over and over again. Sure, it's a pure guy-flick, but it packs heart and will force the interested viewer into more than one moment of deep introspection.
What would YOU do if you were the only thing standing between a young girl - a total stranger - and certain death at the hands of a depraved contract killer? Most of us would like to believe we could play Thomas Jane's role with equal finesse... but would we really?
This one gets my blood pumping. Solid acting. Solid story. Solid dialog. Empathetic characters. Fantastic cinematography. Everything works!
IMO, this is one of Mr. Fishburne's and Mr. Jane's finest performances - but the whole cast is awesome, too. You will especially enjoy Ella Ballentine as Isabelle/Bird. Wow! A truly fantastic effort! I can't say enough about her demonstrations of skill and talent at such a young age!
Watch this guy flick, but try into include your romantic partner if you can - you'll benefit from more than one 'awwww' inducing cuddle-moment! In between starts, screams and jumps, of course!
