The Negotiator
9/19/11
Review written about the movie "THE NEGOTIATOR"; What is interesting is that the review doesn't mention that in the movie Samuel Jackson is a new married African American male; nor does it mention that is wife in constantly in scences in the movie; epecially the scene when an outside negotiator calls his wife into the room when a male ["the enformant"] is brought in[code for the wife has to be an informant in marriage of African American males] the wife is also brought into the room [where 99.99% of the males are males of authority who are of the larger society and 99.98% of the males if the larager society who are armed and trained that believe that the African American male is guilty]=Verification of males of the larger society system of communication to African American females that if they want to protect their African American husband-theyhave no other choice than to work for males of the larger society=which means lie to the husband,etc..
Point is that the movie verifies the concept of African American females having to work for males of the larger society in secret[view the movie as if made to communicate to one person[African American female whose husband has some type of secret knowledge about males of the larger society's wrong doing]. As well as the issues African American males have to deal with working in authority with males of the larger society [Imagine a layperson being in the middle of the internal struggle between authority; not knowing who to trust][The Glass Shield also is good reference about the issues of African American male working as authority with males of the larger society]=NO authority.

Just when you think he's cornered, he thinks of a new strategy. Samuel L. Jackson portrays Lieutenant Danny Roman, police hostage negotiator. When he's framed for a crime he didn't commit, against his fellow police officers no less, he knows that the only way out is to bring in an equally tough negotiator, Lieutenant Chris Sabian played by Kevin Spacey, who's from another precinct and who therefore could not have been contaminated by the bad elements within his own force, which buys him the necessary time to bluff and blindside while he finds the clues he needs to prove he's innocent. Chicago is taken hostage along with the few people he retains as bargaining chips, and we are taken along for the ride. This was a masterful job of film-making from beginning to end. The characters and story were flawlessly developed. We don't precisely know who's guilty or who's innocent. Roman conducts his interrogation and trial while he negotiates with the police outside, some of whom are working overtime to eliminate Roman before he figures it all out. This all occurs right under the noses of the FBI who are in way over their heads and don't have a clue who's guilty or innocent, just like the rest of us watching. Along the way, we get to witness Roman lecture his underlings about the finer points of negotiations while he himself has just become a hostage taker. "Never say no!" he barks with effective zeal. And he tests his bewildered pupils continuously, who fail continuously. Only Sabian is smart enough to understand what's going on in Roman's mind. The strategy is shared by two men who think alike, who are under stress, and have an innate instinct for lie detection. The screenplay was terrific. The cinematography was effective. The acting of Jackson and Spacey exceptional. And the supporting cast, particularly bad-guy-turned-good-guy Paul Giamatti who provides great comic relief, was outstanding. If you're in the mood for an intelligent, taut thriller, The Negotiator delivers... 9/10."
