iHostage

"iHostage is one of those thrillers based on facts that keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, and Netflix knows how to do it like no one else. The plot begins when an armed man breaks into an Apple Store in downtown Amsterdam, starting a standoff with the police that demands precision, composure and quick decisions. What could have been just another crime story turns into an engaging and detailed portrait of a kidnapping in the digital age, with cameras everywhere and decisions being made under the eyes of the world. The film succeeds in showing not only the suspense of the moment, but also the behind-the-scenes negotiation and the psychological impact on everyone involved. It's a great choice for those who enjoy tension based on real events, with a fast pace and a narrative that leaves no room to breathe."
