Unlike the number of anti-terrorist movies that came out in the mid/late eighties, ffolkes provides the most accurate depiction of how a hostage situation is handled should force be required. Instead of simply shooting up the place, ffolkes excellently manipulates Kramer as his team prepares to strike. The final attack takes only a few seconds, with Kramer not even knowing anything was happening until he is shot.
