6 Hours: The End

This low-budget melodrama has something going for it, because I somehow watched it to the end. It is based on a very shaky premise, and exhibits a poor understanding of physics; I nearly turned it off many times, yet somehow it keep me from committing to the urge to put it out of its misery. The acting is frequently over-wrought, and the dialogue cheesy, the narrative riddled with plot holes, continuity blasphemies, technical improbabilities and outright impossibilities, but the film is not without its charms. Beyond the pretty actors, I'm not sure what those are, but somehow a combination things, maybe even the fact that it is trying hard to be more than its constituent parts, is what gets it over the line. Somehow it does rise above its myriad imperfections.
