Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
qaz258852 A quiet birthday celebration at home turns into a desperate race against the clock when a man is injected with poison and given eighty minutes to settle a lingering debt in Knockin' On Heaven's Door director Thomas Jahn's relentlessly tense white-knuckle thriller. Alex North is sitting at home and awaiting the arrival of his girlfriend Mona when an unexpected knock at the door reveals his old friend Walter, a likable restaurant owner who is inexplicably flanked by a pair of muscular thugs. When Alex failed to pay back the $15,000 he borrowed from Walter, he thought that his old friend would be a bit more understanding. But Walter wants his money back tonight, and in order to give Alex some incentive to work fast, he injects him with a time-release poison that will prove should an antidote fail to be administered within the next eighty minutes. Desperate, Alex races to his brother Vincent and gets into a serious car accident along the way. But the other people who were involved in the accident are none too pleased, and quickly give chase as Alex beats a hasty retreat to his brother's house. As Alex attempts to convince Vincent to give him the money that will save his life, he realizes that the police are hot on his trail as well. Not only that, but a vicious biker gang seems determined to track down Alex and his two buddies Floyd and Lloyd. Later, after seeing Lloyd shot dead by the leader of the gang, Alex manages to elude the pistol- packing bikers with a little help from Mona. Just as Alex begins to feel the effects of the poison that's currently coursing though his veins, he reaches Walter's restaurant prepared to pay off his debt. But Walter seems reluctant to accept Alex's payment. It's been quite a wild night for everyone involved, and before this debt is settled Walter has one last surprise for his old friend Alex. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Tom DeFelice WARNING!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! If you are curious/interested in this movie...if there is some overwhelming reason why you want to see it (Xenia Seeberg of LEXX fame has a small part), do not read this review.I never give the surprise ending away. I detest people who do. But after spending 90 minutes watching this waste of time...(if it's called "80 minutes", why is it 90 minutes long?)...I am giving the ending away.SPOILER ALERT!!! The entire story is a birthday gag. The poison, the deaths, the entire tension of the film is a put on. There is no poison. The 15,000 debt has already been paid. No one dies. Everyone is in on the gag. It's all a birthday joke played on the main character. In the end they all hoist a pint in his honor.Arghhhh!!!!!!Don't waste your time. Stay away from this. You've been warned.
mikenathan7 Is the first thing that came to mind after i watched 80 MINUTES. My nomination in this years winner of worst film at the RAZZIE AWARDSIts not good, not at all, unwatchable at time...I am not going to go into great detail about the film and this does contain spoiler innuendo, but i just have a 1 or 2 questions...First of all: why do is the brother German or Dutch when the protagonist is American? The acting was uncomfortable to watch, and dialogue is basically none existent.Im no critic, but i do watch a lot of films, and i have seen some bad ones... Only 80 MINUTES and one other has made me so say "What the f**k did i just watch?" and the end... What was that? Seriously? The mighty twist? It made M Night Shyamalan seem like KAISER Soza. Was that scene the actual conclusion of your film, or did you not have enough footage and decided to film you "Wrap" party? Wow...
alphakrapfen Incredible... how could one manage to get people to work in such a project when everything is so obviously far beyond ultra bad!? i mean I've watched a lot of bad movies, but we only finished watching this one because we couldn't believe that it was that predictable and unsatisfying pathetic. i'm really angry right now that i wasted so much of my time. by the way can somebody tell me how the hell they manage to meet each other over and over again after all the high speed chasing, especially the subjects on foot seem to catch up very easy... must have been stolen from the Red Flash. The dialogs are lame non convincing and boring. even the potheads seem like crappy actors and even i know at least 10 people who would have made a much better job here.the stripper nurse is a f celebrity from Germany most of the spoken English sounds awfully German. all you want to do is step into the movie , slap the actors and tell them to please continue and move on with the plot, if there were one. and why do Germans make movies in English anyhow ? this comment honors the move far to much because you should not even take the time to think about seeing it.
