One of the great ones from the 90s

I never noticed before that I guess this didn't make its budget back with such a great cast I'm surprised. I saw it in the theater and loved every minute of it. To this day it's one of my favorites from that late 90s era of movies. I think it's very underrated and it's sad JT Walsh passed away right before this was released. He's a great actor who made so many movies better because he was in it. I love him in Breakdown.

I've watched it umpteenth times and it gets better with each viewing. I miss Spacey doing big budget movies.

Very true. It truly is one of the best. It's unfortunate that actors have a limited time in the spotlight - Spacey was made for the big-screen.

After all... tomorrow is another day.

I agree, wish he'd do more.

Yes, The Negotiator is a great thriller. I just watched it last night for the first time in years. Wish I'd seen it in theaters. I did see Breakdown in theaters, which is also another good JT Walsh movie. He was a good actor.

Just watched it for the first time, great movie! Kevin spacey steals the show imo.

He's great in it. I still wish he's take bigger roles like he used too.

I agree, it's one of Jackson's best performances imo!

1998 was a pretty great year for movies imo.
