24 Hours

I was fairly intoxicated when I put on this random pick n mix movie, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

A brainless straight to DVD action movie starring Tom Sizemore, Mischa Barton and Jeremy London this cashes in on the popularity of the television series 24 (2001).

Known as both 24 Hours and SWAT: Unit 887 it follows a generic cliched action formula involving kidnapping, a terrorist plot and everyone just looks like they don't want to be there.

Even when "Action" takes place it's boring as hell. Take the credits off it, cut forward a couple of years and I'll bet even the director couldn't identify if he was involved in it. It's THAT generic.

Awful stuff which further insults you with its open ended finale.

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Cliched

Dreadful script

Everyone looks bored

Mischa Barton

Cliffhanger ending with almost no chance of a sequel

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I should not be allowed to pick a movie when drunk

You find this incredibly bad, atrocious movie!!!! I just don't know what happened to Sizemore's movie career after "Saving Private Ryan" but this thing - sold under two tittles - is a huge joke. I'm thinking that I could use it as a lesson how to not make a movie on my film classes. You can even find ridiculous failed camera movements that nobody bothered to repeat. Acting and actor direction is so bad you don't know if you are watching a nonsense comedy or an action pic. You must watch it if you have the time and the need for weird crazy stuff.

I thought I was watching the movie S.W.A.T. and they were doing one of those things where they make you think it's the movie, really it's just a bunch of terrible acting on some dumb TV show. Nope, it was just a bunch of cheap acting on a dumb tv show. It sort of looks like they got someone who knew know to make a show, but then gave them like a $1000 budget, and they decided to use the most generic things and locations as possible.

This movie is so bad in every way. Poor acting, poor dialogue, poor plot. Take my advice AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I am surprised that some good actors can get involved in such a bad movie. The pace of the movie is slow. We jump from place to place, yet you have an idea what is going on but the plot gets confused with the various types of Police Departments involved. Oh by the way,Dr Landis, must have said "help me find my daughter" more than 50 times!! Talk about poor script and poor dialogue! Sorry, but I have watched many movie's , this one ranks as the WORST. The action in the movie seems to be forced and very amateurish at the best of times, sometimes it seems as though we get to see the out takes and not the final cut of the scene. Overall a movie to avoid. I am surprised that Tom Sizemore even bothered to appear in this movie considering his acting talent, it certainly did not do him any justice.

First of all, I hatef the camera look and feel of this movie. Then, once the actors started speaking, I was NOT engaged. This production seemed like a high school kid put it all together. The action was laughable and was not in the least anywhere realistic. And Tom Sizemore...he has been SO much better than this! I think he was just collecting a paycheck. The script was terrible -I watched this while cooking in my kitchen-I can't have missed much, and if I did, it was anything good(?) that may(?) have happened in this so-called movie. I'm hoping I saved someone time for not watching this turkey.
