​Rogue Hostage (2021) is an American action thriller directed by Jon Keeyes, featuring Tyrese Gibson, John Malkovich, and Michael Jai White. The film follows Kyle Snowden, a former Marine turned Child Protective Services officer, who becomes entangled in a hostage situation at his stepfather’s store, orchestrated by a group of mercenaries seeking revenge.

Tyrese Gibson’s portrayal of Kyle Snowden was noted for lacking depth, and John Malkovich’s role as Congressman Sam Nelson was seen as underutilized. Michael Jai White’s character, Sparks, was also mentioned as not being given enough screen time to make a significant impact.​

Rogue Hostage attempts to deliver a high-stakes action thriller but falls short due to its clichéd plot, underdeveloped characters, and lackluster execution. While it might offer some entertainment for fans of the genre, it doesn’t bring anything new or noteworthy to the table.​
