Sudden Death (1995)

Terrorists seize the vice-president in a stadium during a big hockey game. A security man, whose two kids are in the audience, try to stop the bad guys from killing the hostages and blowing up the stadium.

I read on IMDB that this was first written as a comedy. I think it was a big mistake to have changed their minds, because as a serious action movie this has not got much to offer (and a little vestigial comicity remains in the movie). It admittedly has a few spectacular sequences, and is not badly directed, but overall it is hackneyed and not very plausible.

Rating: 32
