The Negotiator: The truth comes out, final confrontation 

This movie is a great example of amazing 90s movies that are so re-watchable for some reason

This was the ultimate betrayal. You steal from your fellow officers, then set one of them up to take the fall. The look on the faces of the entire police division at the end captured everything.

So many things I absolutely love about this movie, but one my favorites is Palermo refusing to take the shot and then in this scene looking so proud and relieved that he didn't snipe an innocent man. This is the same actor who played Bull Randleman in Band of Brothers and there's something so wholesome and trustworthy about him.

Great job by the director making the audience believe Beck was behind the hit and Frost as a vulnerable hostage

David Morse is a very good actor. I always smile when his Beck says "with an injured coo here" and starts organizing everything as usual.

3:13 Get chills every time Beck starts explaining rights to Frost. You can tell he has to force the words from himself, how disgusted he is to be having to do this to a fellow senior officer.

Crazy how no one reacted to this film this is a gem.

Also, notice when Frost says "He's dead" if you look behind him in the house, you can see Roman and Sabian BEFORE the reveal of Romans survival

I just re-watched this last night, and I totally forgot how good this movie was. Everyone was top-notch and it was extremely suspenseful.

One of the best action movies ever

The clip ends just before you see a good scan of all the officers' faces... you can see on their faces how terrible they feel for not believing Roman, and almost killing him.

3:52 - _"You're not gonna get off that easy!"_ With the way things are handled in Chicago whenever corruption is exposed, Frost _wouldn't,_ either!

Officer thinks shooting a computer is enough to destroy data from a computer lol.

Too many good SLJ movies to pick a favorite. I'll watch him in anything. 🤘

This movie is a masterpiece.

2:31 That face drop.

Samuel L Jackson's best film.

What a movie ! Pity they don’t can’t make such movies any more :(((( we were lucky.

Cant believe I hadnt seen this until now. Top class 90s filmmaking

The gotcha moment....Frost got played by Danny and Sabian

the switch to wide shot at 4:58 was a great touch

Floppy disks 😀 Omg, im getting old....!

03:22 AWESOME. Beck was intent on making sure that Frost paid for nearly getting his dear friend and brother killed.

It would have been nice to have an alternate ending where Danny could have met up with Linda...

2:40 The look of disappointment on the chief's face finding out Frost was behind this is incredible. Almost like you can feel his disappointment

Beck acted as if he hated Danny, for being such a good HBT. What got to me is not one of them even considered the fact he could have been set up. It was like they were so sure he did it. The only reason I think Palermo didn’t shoot Danny was because Danny had saved his life once before. Plus they all went against hostage tactics, because they are supposed to try and negotiate as long as possible with the hostage taker before they do a full breech and they didn’t do that.

2:04 even Frost looked disappointed by Sabian lmao

There is a magnificent art in directing that's understated imo and that's when the director uses time between dialogue to survey and chart the emotional reactions of the actors. This director magnificently did that. @2:35 just as Frost is lying his ass off and then the jig is up and we get to see the mindset of every single cop on the lawn. The chief's look conveying, "Do I look that stupid to you?" combined with "You're not fooling anyone anymore you piece of shit," to Beck's reaction which looks to me like a mixture of remorse wrongfully accusing a colleague who saw him as his friend that's blended with surprise at the man who he thought had been a hostage was the real murderer this entire time then Frost's fear as he sees Hellman and Argento being arrested. Then Farley's "How could you do this expression?" and the spotter's suppressed anger right back to the chief's same look of disgust. All of this to me isn't just scenes in a film. It's music I'm seeing with my eyes instead of hearing with my ears and each frame is so poignant and emits a powerful sensation as I sense each emotion, each reaction, each character. Then it has a perfect out of nowhere stanza of power when Beck doesn't hesitate, his rage fired with the bullet at Nate's murderer and Danny's betrayor followed by the suppressed but firm vow that Frost won't get off that easy. This scene is absolutely perfect in every way.

I think we can assume that Danny Roman was put on trial maybe even faced jail time. All though he didn’t kill anyone he still kidnapped people, held them hostage and destroyed a federal building.

The score is beautiful, wow

4:19 ... "I could do it, you know. Right here, right now. Just end it for you. For Nate.... remember that."

Shooting the computer still gets me to lol

He doesnt know the radio was on the whole time

At least three of these actors were in the series “24” - Nestor Serrano, who played bad cop Hellman; Michael Cudlitz, who played the “toothpick” cop Palermo; and Carlos Gomez, who played Eagle. In 24 Day 2, Cudlitz played Rick Phillips; Day 3, Gomez played Luis Alarcon; Day 4, Serrano played Navi Araz. None of their characters lived. Also, Dean Norris, who played Officer Scott in “Negotiator”, played General Bowden in Day 2 of “24”. There were probably more.

3:56 this scene motivates me so much

Sweet ass ending! This was such a good ass movie ❤. Glad it wasn’t a waste of time like most movies 😅

This movie was awesome🙂

Good ol' floppy disks! Brought back some college final memories.........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Love the score especially through this scene

Could watch the negotiator everyday

This is 1 of the best movie ever in history

Seeing floppy disks makes me feel old

One of the best memorable endings of any movie

This bluff was or still is the riskiest one yet

Sabian: You're trying to kill this man, and you call him your friends. I have nothing invested in this. I wonder why that is??

F Gary Gray the director is a legend , I love all his movies , quality over quantity, he directed Friday 1, Law Abiding Citizen, The Italian Job, straight Outta Compton, set it off, he's a genius and a great Movie Director, I love this movie and story, 10/10 ❤

Thank GOD we have Good old Kev Spacey saving the Day with Traditional Morals!!! Phew..Our Kids and Aspring Actors are Safe!

2:02 So, that's how they turned off computers in the 90s.

I know its a film, but id like to think, after all the conflict for bek and roman, that they went on to be good mates, and both have a much deeper respect for the work the other does. Type of incident you need to kick start somefriend ships, because you may not like someone, but we can all like a "Good Man" and they are both good men from each side of a coin

This and many other movies they don't make like this no more

Spacey & Samuel,Great Combination…Jah God🏆

The actor who played Allen was a personal friend of Sam Jackson’s. He had zero dialogue in this movie! Helman plays cops in alot of movies and tv series. Blue Bloods, Lethal Weapon

This scene was filmed directly next door to the house from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" at 2:20 you can see Nancy's house in this movie.

Danny Roman went through all that bs lol he been tryna get them to listen the entire time that’s literally all he wanted was someone to just listen 💯

This movie made me respect Sam L Jackson. Before this one, I only seen him in weird small roles or roles where his acting range didn't shine that much: the mad pianist, the slave in Django, Winnfield, Star Wars, Jackie, Shaft, Die Hard 3, Amos & Andrew, etc... Only after this film I had the opportunity to see gems like Coach Carter, etc... Such a talented actor. Note for nitpickers: I came in late into this sort of movies, so yes... I watched this and Coach Carter years after their release, sometime after Django.

This movie is so good!!

Shout out to Beck! He a real one, i was very suspicious of him throughout the whole film.

"You're not gonna get off that easy"......

David Morse and John Spencer (RIP) were also in The Rock together two years prior to this movie. They were both great in The Rock too.

I love the heartbeat in earphones movie is so good

I watch this movie each time it's aired. 😊❤❤

One of the best movies of the 90s

So many rings of humans and systems and good trouble… this is a movie and we have to also manage Intentions….

The second glance of Samuel J., in utter disbelief is imo top notch acting.

Everything would've been recorded for legal reasons. Even if he uses his Miranda rights, they have everything documented . Half the precinct has heard everything.

Why wasn’t anybody stopping Roman when he picked the pistol up and was debating on shooting Frost?

90s movies are the best.

Samuel L Jackson amazing actor talented in right up there with top 15

Still amazed that only one cop fired at the end there. As well as that he shot with the intent to disarm not kill. Wow movies man lol

Good movie

PALERMO!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ He knew there was no way!

Awesome movie !! I do remember it !!🤣🤣🤣

great movie

This was one of those movies where i wanted to what happened after.. cuz how can we be friends again... All his so called friends were quick to kill him except his real friend who did take the sniper shot

I’m surprised they didn’t go full O.K. Corral on Beck…

One of d greatest movie ever come out in the 1990’s

2:51 I love the way they are looking at Frost while they are being arrested... like "you dumb mf how could you fall for that bluff!" 😂😂😂

they don't make them like this no more

2:01 lmao shoots the PC XD 'evidence cleared!'

Roman reching over with the gun yet the Cops nearest Frost keep their guns trained RIGHT at Frost...... When the other Cop raises his gun, the one beside him raises his hand as if to say 'let Roman be'.

Officer Frost...YOU ARE BUSTED!!!😠😁

It was unfortunately kind of obviously, he had been acting strange the entire movie.

O comandante Beck não era corrupto , mas era tremendamente INVEJOSO .

The dangers of a hot mike.

Maybe it is just because I am a computer nerd, but I hated how they "destroyed" the evidence. All they did was make it harder to acquire. The magnetic disks for the 3.5mm floppy disk would just need a new container and he didn't even shoot the hard drive in the computer.

Palermo is also abraham ford from the walking dead

So what ive watched this movie 437 times its great

ممكن تنزل الفليم كامل

How dare he shoot himself! Only the police is allowed to shoot. So inconsiderate.

"You should have been a negotiator."

This is the movie that made Sam my favorite actor, and my favorite movie of all time (right next to Broken Arrow).

The size of those SD card. 🤡 Must have at least 5 TB there or more.

@2:39 Great facial dissapoints by everybody.🙌🙌🙌

Polumbo is the real MVP

You realize hostage taking is still illegal even if nobody dies. He will still get fired and sent to prison.

Can anyone explain what happens with the cop at the back window (Allen) The 3rd one who’s in on it? I never see him arrested

Awesome.

Does any one knows the name of the soundtrack or the score? I have searched everywhere and cannot find thanks

I love how none of them are eager to shoot Danny when he gets pissed enough to actually pull a gun on Frost. They realized they were wrong, and only have the guns ready should Danny commit a homicide, but they're not judgmental to him. They don't say, "PUT THE FUCKING GUN DOWN. ASSHOLE!" and treat him like a thug and an animal as Frost was hoping would happen. They're just quiet, as if they're not gonna really do anything to Danny except arrest him and do their job. And plus even if Danny would have shot that shitstain, it's heat of passion/heat of the moment should he do it. That's not the same as downright premediated murder with aforethought and malice; a serious felony charge, but it's not that. When Frost sees that that's the reaction, he realizes how much he truly fucked up by trying to pit him against Danny, and throwing his asshole men under the bus (because Helleman, Argento and Allan all look like they wanna kill him; Frost's days are numbered because they're gonna kill him in prison). Beck, who was mean to Danny, instead is downright pissed. You can see it in his face, and Palermo who knew Danny was innocent the whole time, looks like he wants to break Frost's jaw. Even though it looks as though Danny was suspecting Frost throughout the movie, it's only in the confirmation that all rage was let out. You can see it in Danny, he's pissed at Frost. He wants to kill him.

that is how i like in most movies where there is someone quick to shoot somewhere on the guy before he shot himself in the head
