Since this movie was based on true events, and centred around a group of small children and their young teacher - Patsy Kensit - being held hostage by a crazed fanatic it should have had me on the edge of my seat, but it didn't. The main problem was that the crazed fanatic was a really bad actor, and I didn't believe in him for one moment. Most of the children were more frightening than him, mainly because their acting was dire. Surely they could have cried a bit more convincingly. They should have been made to watch the rushes, that might have helped. On the other hand, Prochnow was tailor-made for his role as a policeman still haunted by the memory of the murder of the athletes at the Munich Olympics and determined not to let the same thing happen again, and it was interesting to learn how tight-fisted and devious governments are willing to be even when children's lives are at stake. If the ending is true then it's amazing, but I suspect a little dramatic licence may have been taken here. An okay watch in the end, but it should have been better.
