Bruce Willis stars as a police hostage negotiator who's wracked by guilt from having failed on his last case -- a man holding his wife and young son hostage ended up shooting them both and himself. In order to try to forget his past he moves to a small, serene California town, but when a couple of young men try to steal the car of a mobster (Kevin Pollak), his hostage negotiating skills are put again to the test. Also with Jimmy Bennett, Jimmy Pinchak and Jonathan Tucker. Directed by Florent Emilio Siri. [1:42]

VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - We hear several gunshots and see flashes of light, then we see a man dead on the floor with smearing and splattering of blood on the wall behind him, and we see a bound and gagged woman who has been shot to death (there are splatters of blood on the wall behind her) and a young boy who has a very bloody neck wound (blood gushes from the wound and then the boy falls still); a man holds the boy and we see his very bloody hands.

A boy's hand is bloody from being cut by glass. A man finds his dog dead (we see it with blood on its neck and mouth).

A car is driven through a large iron gate and Molotov cocktails are thrown at it, setting it ablaze.
► A surveillance tape is played and we see a young man shooting a man and then watching him die while the man pleads for help. A wounded police officer pulls herself along the ground, a car approaches, the driver pulls the officer into the car, and the officer then gasps and dies.

A young man slams a teenage girl against a rock wall and holds her around the throat (she gags and gasps). A man hits a young boy across the face with a telephone receiver. A young man punches another young man in the face, then pulls off his belt threatening to hit him with it.
► A teenage girl kicks a young man, he tries to grab her, and she and a boy run, scampering through air vents; the young man chases them, they climb out into a room, the young man grabs the teenage girl's foot and tries to pull her back inside the vent but they get away and hide in a room with bulletproof glass while the young man on the other side tries to shoot the glass. A young man ties a teenage girl's hands and feet to bed posts, and while doing so he pushes her foot down using the blade of a knife (it does not appear to cut her). Police officers shoot out surveillance cameras.
