This movie is alright, but derivative.
If you like the concept, but want to see a much better movie, check out "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, 2010".
The acting is much better, but I don't want to totally dismiss this film.
The concept is top drawer! Combining AI with a time device, would be a total game changer.
The AI would detect danger at a speed humans aren't capable of, then throw you back 57 seconds to avoid the danger, either manually or by the AI.
It's a genius concept, used a lot in the film, less the AI, he does everything manually.
I would recommend this film on the concept alone, however, it's a waste of Morgan Freeman's talent.
But hey, everybody can use an extra paycheck, LOL!

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?

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.
Wow. I'm mind-blown.
Do you know when you are watching a science fiction movie or any movie really and you have those moments of amazement thinking "Wow! I feel like I'm getting smarter after every scene!", "This is so well written!" "This is so ingenious!"? Well, unfortunately, the complete opposite just happened...
It's remarkable how the decision makers involved in this project were able to set up this big scope involving as characters apparently two of the worlds most influential beings, the tech genius entrepreneur! And the pharmaceutical giant!, with the MIT graduate 'chosen one'!, and the movie be so ridden by basically idiotic/childish decisions and set ups. Everything just feels relentlessly cheap. How contradictory.
How to suspend your disbelief when the movie is set within such a wealthy and high-stakes scenario but you have everything surrounding your production (except Morgan Freeman) being not up to par? It just makes no sense.
Next time just tune/humble the whole thing down so that you don't have to simplify every plot point because you don't have the budget or the technical team/energy to make it.

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.
