12 horas

12 horas claims to be part of the Dogma movement on movies. This is a great marketing gig because in reality this movie is a wreck! From some awful acting from the leads and a convulted and meanningles storyline, this is a pretentious piece filled with cheesy cliches about the "night life" in Puerto Rico. The promise of different lives criss-crossing with teh taxi driver is another lie. What you will see is four bad oriented stories , literally copied and pasted together in a very "hip" way. An insult to what really happens in the streets of Puerto Rico. ! I cannot recomend it to any serious cinema lover.

Wow this movie really lowered the standard of what a bad movie is... every element of this "film" sucked. Crappy writing, bad acting, not even the pronunciation was good, bad sound, bad music, terrible editing and above all terrible directing... And to think that this movie cost $500,000.00 just really wants to make me vomit because Puerto Rico has real actors, real directors and real screenwriters who could have made three great movies with half a million... This film is just a shame and it is the worst movie I have ever seen. "Dude, where's my car?" actually looks like "The Godfather" when compared to this. The movie didn't even respect it's audience enough to at least have the sound in sync with the image. The stories do not make sense, the characters are not developed and the film (if it can be called a film) goes nowhere. It ends on the same note in which it began and in the end you just have to ask yourself, why? If you love bad movies then "12 horas" is for you, it was so bad that the razzies even overlooked it.

A wonderfully energetic film with little story and ill-advised ending. I hope these people make lots more movies, and that they find a good writer who can tie up the loose ends without resorting to shallow tragedy. I was especially fond of Flavia Manes Rossi, but everyone was lively and interesting. A very talented cast.

Its really a shame that shallow tripe like this is representing our country's film community. There are a lot of talented people working here in PR, but sadly, what mostly gets filmed and shown is the WORSE things. 12 Horas is truly a big shame for us cinema lovers down here in PR..

A few minutes after I started watching this movie I completely forgot that it was just a movie with actors just portraying their respective characters. I truly felt that I was watching "real people" as they went about their respective twelve hours in this movie. I wonder why this movie was not nominated for any Oscars!

I have,unfortunately, lived away from my Puerto Rico since 1978 but watching this movie I felt that I was back, watching this story develop right in front of my eyes.

Although most of the actors, with the exception of Marcos Betancourt, were unfamiliar to me I was absolutely impressed with their performance. Hopefully, I will see all of them in future movies!
