Robert Kleis’s original work is already quite standard. After de Richardson’s adaptation, the plot is more fascinating and received a good response. The audience praised the plot of "Hostage" for its ups and downs and intriguing, and how the protagonist Jeff, who is full of conflicts in his heart, chooses ultimately is one of the highlights of the film. Director Florent Siri is also very good at depicting the contradictory and disturbed psychological characteristics of criminals

"Hostage" does not deliberately create a hot and intense scene, but wins with the tension of the plot, giving people a refreshing feeling. The picture of the film is dominated by gloom. This gloomy feeling brings a heavy atmosphere, which fits the plot of the story. At the beginning of the film, some fancy special techniques were used, which not only clearly explained the story and the characters, but also added beauty to the picture, and at the same time had some suspense and documentary flavor. However, the music of the film only matched the development of the plot and different scenes, and did not emphasize the atmosphere at the time well to promote the development of the plot
