Hours Reviews

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the damned thing but since it was on the TV, I thought I might as well check it out. At first, I wondered if it was really appropriate to make a generic thriller taking place during such a tragedy like Katerina but I have to admit that the whole thing actually really had some potential. Indeed, I always had a weak spot for minimalist movies focusing only on one character and the late Paul Walker gave here easily the most solid performance of his career. Unfortunately, the makers made one crucial mistake that pretty much ruined the whole thing for me. Indeed, right  from the moment the incubator started to show some battery issues, they set the lifetime of the battery to only 3 minutes which was just way too short. Right then, I wondered how they would manage to keep the plot going on if the guy would need to go back every 3 minutes to crank up the god damned thing but, eventually, well, they pretty much cheated. Indeed, about 80% of the time the main character went away to do wathever he had to do, he was gone for way too long which was just silly and annoying. It could have been helped easily by setting the time to 15 or even 10 minutes at first but, no, they went for something completely unbelievable that ruined an actually solid feature. Anyway, to conclude, if you can forget this huge mistake, it is actually watchable but, otherwise, I don't think it is really worth a look.

As a father, as a husband, he stood for their defence.

One of the final movies of a fine actor of our time, Paul Walker. Small budget movie, only because of the story that did not require a grand setting and spectacular graphics. The whole film takes place inside a hospital and a very few external shots glued to the narration in pieces to make an exciting tale. Its his back to back after 'Vehicle 19' which also had a limited cast. At least he and his directors with writers proved these kind of small movies has an equal level of interesting materials to the grand ones. So it's about how you make one with all the finite resources and the rest is left to the people who decides its fate.

A trans-apocalyptic movie. Due to the circumstance where the story happens, there's no proper explanation for everything. Obviously leaves some doubts concerning the main plot, but what the story tells is the basic instinct of survival of any species of our world. So in this film all about stay alive and protect your loved ones or die trying.

What a father's, at a time a husband's role should be when his family completely depends him. That's what the story where a man stands between his family and the hurdles that coming his way. Not a fancy visual film, but an entertaining thriller-drama gives extreme nail-biting moments with less talks and more in actions. Definitely a good movie

7/10

I watched this the day I found out that Paul Walker had passed away. This was such a great movie and Walker's performance is powerful. The story is really good even with it being so simple. It's a fictional story that takes place during a real world occurrence. It gives a lot of suspense and interesting situations. Okay enough with this review just go watch this already. I swear it is amazing and will make you feel something.
