Sweet Hostage Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
popnoff2001 Back when i first saw this movie I was in the Navy on the USS Enterprise. It was 1978 and I was 18. Very young and impressionable. I had been going thru the usual stuff most people that age go thru. A search for self and something I could believe in. So when they showed this movie on the ships TV I was on watch and sat their mesmerized as the movie progressed. The more i saw it the more i felt completely captivated by the main character martin Sheen played. He represented everything i was feeling and going thru. I felt like and outsider and that no one understood my true self. I found my self in tears and could hardly believe that there was someone who felt the same, even if it was a fictional movie character. I was deeply moved for days and found myself wanting to do everything from go AWOL and run away to commit suicide because there was just no way I could live in the world as I saw it and Martin Sheen saw it in that movie. I have never seen it again and hardly feel it would have any impact on me other than nostalgic but on that night far away on the Pacific Ocean, this TV movie Sweet Hostage was a godsend that I felt was meant to be shown while most the ship slept, I had a deeply spiritual experience. all from a movie! I chuckle now but it was one of my favorites for years until I finally grew up and got jaded and swept away in the typical pursuits of a young man..sex, girls and fast cars! Excellent movie.
kasadale I actually did not see this movie in 1975 but happened on it years later. That seems like a miracle now considering it certainly is never shown on T.V. anymore. I really got lucky then because for some reason I decided at the last minute to record it. Not knowing at the time how much I would love it, I had recorded it on an old tape on a raggedy VCR. To try and watch it now is really a strain, and I've tried everywhere to find another copy. Even a couple of years ago I showed my young teenage daughter the movie and now it continues to be one of her favorites. Sheen's dialogue in the movie was spellbounding and he performed it so from the heart...it is really hard to put this performance into words. I was so happy to find that there are actually other people out there who also love and appreciate this great film. I love it!!!!!!!
Joseph P. Ulibas Sweet Hostage (1975) boy did they re-run a lot of those 70's television movies. Martin Sheen (looking a lot like his son Charlie) escape the nut house and while he's on the lam kidnaps a young country bumpkin (Linda Blair looking all too innocent). Ol' Marty is shocked to learn that she's in dire need of some education. I liked this movie. A strange made for television film. Good for a change of pace.Recommended.
Bren-17 I seen Sweet Hostage when I was about 13 for the first time and fell in love with the movie and Martin Sheens character. There has never been another love story quite like this and that is what makes it so unique.I have been searching for years to find this movie and at long last I have found it and it is coming home with me! Two thumbs up!!!
