School bus load of brats taken hostage by misunderstood escaped cons, 10 April 2000
7/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

Exciting film dealing with a hostage rescue unit of the FBI. They must try to talk a deranged convict and his buddies out of killing a group of young kids held in an abandoned slaughter house. Things go about as expected until the last 20 minutes when a surprise is thrown in which spices up an otherwise routine suspense picture.
