5 d. ago Kidnap, blackmail and Suranne Jones as PM: inside Hostage, Netflix’s breakneck new political thriller

The British prime minister and French president get sucked into a shady conspiracy in the streaming giant’s latest twisty, emotional drama. Jones and Julie Delpy tell allHostage is a political thriller, and observes the conventions in many ways. The pace is absolutely flawless, it’s twisty, it has emotional heft. The British prime minister, Abigail Dalton, played by Suranne Jones, faces her husband, Alex Anderson (Ashley Thomas), being kidnapped. Their marriage is well drawn – “it’s happy, it’s assured, they’re supportive of each other,” Jones says. As we chat in Netflix’s central London offices, she’s always saying five things at once, only one of them out loud.

1 week ago A particular set of skills: how Liam Neeson went from ‘master actor’ to deadpan Naked Gun spoofery

As his turn in cop-comedy reboot brings rave reviews, we look back on the actor’s varied career, from Schindler’s List to Star Wars and, of course, TakenLiam Neeson may have gained pop-culture immortality for his gravelly growl of a certain line of dialogue in the 2008 hostage thriller Taken – “I don’t have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills” – but the release of his new film, a reboot of the classic spoof cop movie The Naked Gun represents another remarkable turn in Neeson’s distinguished career, which has taken in heavyweight prestige dramas, historical biopics, blockbusting science fiction, superhero epics and head-cracking action cinema.In The Naked Gun, Neeson has for the first time taken the lead role in an out-and-out comedy. He plays Frank Drebin Jr, the police-detective son of Leslie Nielsen’s Frank Drebin in the original.
