This week on Late Fee Files, Brian and Adam dial into two '90s hostage thrillers packed with tension, attitude, and A-list charisma: The Negotiator (1998) and Metro (1997).
They break down Samuel L. Jackson’s masterclass in controlled chaos in The Negotiator, and Eddie Murphy’s underrated turn as a street-smart hostage negotiator in Metro — a rare dramatic outing that still packs laughs and firepower.
From over-the-top negotiation tactics to explosive finales, the guys dive into what made this subgenre peak in the late '90s, why these two films deserve a second look, and how both leads brought their own signature style to the crisis movie formula.
Negotiations are over. Press play.
