Erick Estrada Cinegarage In the little depth that the film has, despite being little, the film itself chokes.[Full review in Spanish] Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine iHostage not only dares to recreate a recent real event, but it does so without euphemisms. Films about urban terrorism usually look for external culprits, ideological causes, and obvious enemies. None of that is present here. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Rick Hong Film Threat With moments of high tension and nail-biting suspense, iHostage is not only an exhilarating watch but also a demonstration of filmmaking that resonates with viewers. Rated: 7.5/10 Apr 21, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider Don’t judge it by its lame title – iHostage is a rock-solid thriller made all the more stronger by its dramatic plausibility. Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com iHostage's biggest sin is that it's dull and boring and has nothing of note that leaves us interested in any way. Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Boermans uses everything from CCTV camera footage to body cams to make iHostage feel as realistic as possible (...) But in this pursuit of verisimilitude, Boermans forgets to inject the narrative with (...) tension. Rated: 1/5 Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Lon T Just got done watching, its a 6 or 7 on scale 10. Its pacing is slower than I like. Hostage situations in real life are not quick either. I hate foreign films with English voice actors. Lip sync is off. It was a good way to spend a Friday night. It was my alternative to the NFL draft. Rated 3 out of 5 stars04/26/25 Full Review Ryan C This is the most boring movie I’ve ever watched. Complete waste of time. Nothing compelling or intriguing. Calling this a “thriller” is a joke. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars04/26/25 Full Review Alex M If this was in in America it would've immediately ended with those 2 cops shooting the gunman in the window at those first 10 minutes Rated 4 out of 5 stars04/26/25 Full Review James M Totally lacking in anything. Was this sponsored by Apple? Man walks into an Apple Store - disaster- ends with man and his iPods. No suspense. No dialogue. No plot. No surprises. A truly awful movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars04/25/25 Full Review Ece N Disappointing overall, slow, no purposeful storyline or anything happening to flow. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars04/25/25 Full Review Frederick M Film had no purpose. Waste of my time. Waste of my internet. Waste of my electricity.
