When You Don't Negotiate With Terrorists ***1/2
27 October 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

When a drug-lord from Somalia arranges to have a hero policeman kidnapped, all Hades breaks loose. The FBI notifies Frank that he is probably dead and besides, we don't negotiate with terrorists.

We see the distraught wife who realizes what the score is, but after all, it's her husband's life and she wants everything possibly done. Who wouldn't think like that under normal circumstances?

How fortunate that this drug-lord is killed in Somalia and his New York brother spills the beans. How he is duped into doing this is most interesting; although, quite predictable.

In a brief sidebar, Jamie shows that sometimes you have to negotiate to try and reason. Case in point is when the police have to be called in three times when a brother feuds with his sister over the business.
