Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
ike Mr. Jackson, Mr. Spacey cuts an impressively cryptic figure even when dealing in platitudes, and the two stars do get to make the sort of declarations that rarely crop up in everyday life.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The movie's a thriller that really hums along, and I was intensely involved almost all the way. Only now, typing up my notes, do I fully realize how many formula elements it contains.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
To the extent the setup allows Spacey and Jackson to go head to head, it's a good thing. But there are other elements in the film that aren't nearly as interesting or satisfying.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The Negotiator deserves a place among the best action/thrillers of the year. This is a Dog Day Afternoon for the '90s.
– James Berardinelli,
ReelViews,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Teaming for the first time Kevin Spacey and Samuel Jackson, arguably the two best actors of their generation, in perfectly fitting roles is a shrewd move and the best element of this fact-inspired but overwrought thriller
