Review

from the director of ‘hostage’ comes a film that is actually very similar to assault on precinct 13, which i mentioned earlier is very similar to the hostage; so, in a circular way, it makes sense that it is directed by the same guy. there are some interesting camera moves and some flourishes of style, but overall the picture lacks the comic relief and round characterization that hostage had. like hostage, the nest has a fairly enticing opening sequence, but unlike the hostage, this film doesn’t capitalize on that momentum. style over substance is the phrase here, and sometimes that just means the director is a good script away from making a film as good as the hostage is.
