24 Little Hours

I was intrigued by all the glowing user reviews of this movie. Having laboriously worked my way through this truly appalling, dreadful thing, I emerged at the far end wishing it had English subtitles (I was bought up in south London but the echoing audio quality which sounded as if the cast had spoken into metal buckets, was so poor I missed half the dialogue - perhaps no bad thing). The acting was dreadful (and - for the record - there are a couple of really talented actors among this ensemble). The dialogue sounded like it had been written by a 14 year old who had secretly gained access to his uncle's slasher movie stash. I could imagine the mocked up police interview room to be in a large Isle of Dogs warehouse, rented for 2/6 a week. Apparently the production shoot was 8 days - does this not say something? Trite, formulaic, unimaginative, and an obviously rushed production. Of course, it is easy for someone like me to criticize, but other, much better films with even smaller budgets have produced so much more. I couldn't recommend this to a friend.

Is this one of the worst films I've ever seen, or am I missing the point? Firstly the acting is atrocious, more wooden than a carpenters workshop, however, Bannerman is ok. The sound is bad, even with the over the top cockney vernacular, it's very hard to tell what anyone's saying. The landscape shots are ok, they seemed to have spent more time and money on these than the acting. The dialogue is like something out of a cartoon. I liked the sequencing very much. But all in all it was awful. The killer had the best deal, never saying a word. And the ending, my mouth was wide open, not through shock and horror, but shear disbelief!!

I spent most of the film threatening to turn it off, but didn't either from a morbid fascination, or the farcical hope that it was going to turn into a musical.

Still confused!!!

Anyone who gives this more than 1 star is deluded. It's embarrassing! Worst film I've ever seen. I was fascinated to watch it to the very end, just because it was so bad. Awful, ridiculous story, the most terrible acting I've ever seen, worse than a primary school would make, bad audio recorded on an inline earphone mic I suspect. Just unbelievable that this even exists. Any positive reviews have definitely been brought. I haven't logged in to IMDB for years, but made the effort just for this. I even started clicking on other reviewers profiles to see if they were real. Sorry to guys who made it, as I hate to negate, but you just wasted 1:23 of my life.

I've seen better student films. This looks like it has been shot on a camcorder, the audio sounds tinny and wrong, clearly they are running around with toy guns, the after effects gunshots look ridiculous.

The plot is just dumb. Acting is terrible. Any positive reviews are probably from the film maker and his mates.

Don't waste your time.

This film about a silent ex con seeking revenge is far more complicated for it's own good and many of the characters are straight from a cartoon I think. But its watchable but very bloated with an overly complex story and not enough action. But for a low budget film I've certainly seen worse.
