24 Little Hours

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!!!

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.

Was this a Uni project? I hope they didn't pay the actors, whom they clearly got off the street. Anyone that remotely thinks this 1-take per scene pile of rubbish deserves any credit should avoid poker tables; we now know your bluff. Those listed in the credits should insist that they be struck-off, as this movie is a career wrecker.

Is this supposed to be a comedy ?

Awful acting, unrealistic scenarios and all round bad.

Couldn't watch after the first ten minutes of the annoying opening scene at the police station.

Also the background rap (or attempted rap) music is terrible.

Only one thing could have saved this and that would be for it not to have been made.

Awful.

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.
