Retour Mortel

Wow!!! What a Great story...too bad it is all I can say on it's behalf...very poor casting...lacking in color...intriguing; brings you to the end...not a movie I would keep in my library...I wonder if a Nicholas Cage or a Bruce Willis could of punched out the film...I believe so...Sorry Cuba...Not great...But an Excellent Story...

Neil stole the lead role here and even there it was poor...I feel as though I was watching a B movie and was constantly waiting for a moment where I would of been surprised...did not happened...the surprise for me was not in the actual movie...but in the story...which is too bad because it is a great story...and had potential to be a great movie...

I actually ain't a stiff who pretends like every movie I see is the worst movie ever made. I've seen a ton of movies. So I know a horrible movie deserving of a 1 or 2 when I see 1. Yes we all have dif opinions but not to the point where we should ever give a watchable movie with enough good in it as a 1 or 2. Those are the type of movie you turn off imo or at least wish u had. In no way was this movie that bad. There was a enough to keep you interested til end. Enough suspense, drama & decent story if your into these kinda movies. If you are not into these types of movies, then you really shouldnt be giving an opinion since you are clearly bias. Or you can give opinion, but at least have the disclaimer that you hate these kind of movies to make it fair to others. Or else it makes rating systems a joke. Obv trolls or losers wouldn't care bout that but 1 would hope your life isn't too so pathetic that you have become 1

I give it a 5 & i don't consider that bad, it's average which makes sense in a 1-10 scale. The acting was decent throughout. I wasn't exactly expecting Oscar worthy performances & don't think they should be a requirement in every movie. Just be believable. I hate when people become hyper focused on plots & sub plots & need everything to make sense. Especially in Sci-fi movies. I mean, they are movies lol. But at same time, the ending kinda upset me a little on the fact that common-sense alone would've told anybody that you cannot end movie like that. It just doesn't work & I would've been such an easy fix & couldve made movie that much better with thoughtful ending. And when I say thoughtful I mean that it wouldn't have taken too much thinking to come up with something almost exactly the same but something that was plausible. It's not enough to ruin the entire movie experience but it's enough to keep it from becoming a pretty good movie worth 1-2 stars higher since the end of the movie most would agree Is kinda important. It's a little offensive they ended the movie the way they did. Not the very ending but what led to it anyways. It's the still part of ending tho.

Cuba Gooding Jr.'s previous movie, "Wrong Turn At Tahoe", was a surprisingly good movie, so my expectations were pretty high for "Ticking Clock". Sadly, Gooding takes a step back with this movie. I admit that I can't say that this is a BAD movie - while watching it, it kept me interested in seeing how it would be wrapped up - but it's not a successful movie. The movie doesn't look very good for one thing, sometimes looking somewhat cheap and photographed in a way that gives the movie a muddy look. Gooding's character comes across as a somewhat dumb and irresponsible character, and Gooding adds a touch of whine to a lot of the lines this character speaks. And the big twist in the movie will become pretty obvious to just about every viewer long before it dawns on Gooding's character. With this movie, it doesn't seem that any time soon that Gooding will work his way out of the straight-to-DVD sludge he's currently stuck in.

I just want to be entertained and i'm easy to please. I don't even see most of the flaws in a movie reviewers will typically mention. But only a few minutes into this and I was asking - can I stand to watch a movie where the main character is so unbelievably stupid? Can anyone act against their own self0interest so consistently? For that matter can the police really be as stupid and sloppy as this about what he tells them? Fortunately this settles down some after a bit, but it's actually the number one problem I have here. Otherwise I liked it. Could have done without the excessive clues to the "twist" ending though. It's not not the sort of twist one expects in a crime film so it could have been played for a major, "whaaaaa?" effect, but they tossed that chance away.

An investigative reporter (Gooding) comes home to find his girlfriend brutally murdered and chases the killer (McDonough). After finding a diary with names and dates of future murders he tries to stop them. Most of the time B movies like this one are boring and drag on and on to a lame conclusion. This one is a rare exception. This movie had me riveted and second guessing myself all over the place. A very original movie that has a huge twist in it that could have ruined it, but was done so well that it actually helped make the movie better then I was expecting. Very tense in some parts and will keep you hooked until the final frame. A MUST SEE, even for non horror fans. A very original, surprising and enjoyable experience.I give it an A-
