HOSTAGES! aka TRAFICANTES DE PANICO now Uncut and in English!

Under discussion:

A terrific cast is only one of many reasons why this Mexican/Italian/Spanish crime/action/thriller is so easy to recommend! A gang plans for a big score and it’s time to put it into action; they will rob several casinos at once and then hook up in time to leave the country and enjoy all that money. None of it goes exactly as planned and the police are really on their game so trouble is everywhere. Three of the criminals, including the leader, hide out in the house of a man of some local importance and regard. They torture and generally abuse him, his family and the hired help while waiting for a chance to break away. Tension is only how it starts… Meanwhile, the rest of the robbers find themselves scattered about the city, they are armed and very desperate so havoc abounds! An impressive amount of adrenaline charged action, some nudity, a little gore, a tease of sleaze, and lots of violence are present throughout this cool but seldom seen movie from the director who gave us Night of a Thousand Cats, Cyclone and so much more!
