Wonder how this remake will turn out

The original Spanish movie is great, for any of you who may not know about its existence. I came across this one and wonder if they will screw up a superb production. How will they cope with the tension created when the cons take the ETA members as hostages. That's the only power the cons have over the situation and, hell, the USA don't have that problem. What will the power the cons have? simple civilian hostages?
