57 Segundos

While 57 Seconds had its fun moments, some cliche ideas let the movie down. It is not the best movie out there, but it is entertaining in it's own way and had the potential to have been better than what was released. Morgan Freeman is still a great actor that can make a bad movie look good with his topnotch acting. Josh Hutcherson did a great job too and I'll definitely love to see him in big budget movies. Nonetheless, 57 Seconds is a movie that contains a good dose of entertainment, a few laughing moment here and there and some solid acting. The story should have just been able to give us more.

I didn't like anything about this picture save maybe the possible potential for the story line. There were really no redeeming features to this film that I could find at any point during the development of the story. The main characters portrayal of his stupidity was only exceeded by his bad acting in general. In fact none of the characters had any credibility at all throughout.

The last scene in the aircraft was really pathetic from all aspects of this production.

The director should definitely keep his day job. I'm not a Hollywood critic just someone who has over many decades discovered what is a good movie from a bad movie.

Especially when one of my favorite actors Mr Morgan Freeman is involved.

He is far too good an actor to have been associated with this production at all.

Why he would have taken on this project to begin with is mystery to me?

Boring. Both leads are unlikeable, and please, did they just get married within 2 days of meeting? What am I missing. And where did she get that Mercedes convertible that she sped off in in a huff? She was quite willing to accept all the little luxuries until she got the zig when he was a non-show for her exhibition. Frankly her "art" was terrible too. Who would buy that rubbish?? Ah, yes Morgan freeman, no doubt with some nefarious intention - what else could explain such bad taste.

The baddies were the best part of this movie. I actually found the constant recurring scenes of the 57 seconds" re-dos a bit irritating after a while. One of them, where he tries to get the safe combination went on forever.

The ending was supposed to make us root for them I think, but it was just plain silly.

5 is generous.

This film is just terrible. The premise is okay but the main character is poorly written. The way he acts and his motivations are that of a 12 year old. This is as bad as that lame Jason Momoa film "sweet girl" where every point they want to portray is so on the nose that it all ends up stinking. Although I couldn't make it beyond 20 minutes of that tripe, I did make it further on this one. This script really needed another 6 or 7 rewrites. Maybe this script was written by ChatGPT? No? Or maybe it needed to be? This could've been so much better if it had been properly script doctored but we will never know.

I don't know how the team that made the movie managed to land Morgan Freeman on their lap. Whoever made that happen is the only genius on the team.

Everything else is absolutely dumb and/or low quality about this movie.

The main characters make the dumbest decisions possible. Their reasoning makes no sense.

From the cinematography perspective, it's just awful. Most outdoor scenes are way too contrasty with blown shadows. It's like they hired a team of first year art school students and put them in charge of lighting and the camera.

Audio is awful too. Many indoor scenes echo like crazy.

Zero attention to details.

Do not recommend.

3/10.
