Wizard-8 It seems that the makers of this movie got some inspiration from the 1950 noir thriller "D.O.A.", seeing that the protagonists in both movies are dying and are seeking revenge and justice. However, this time around you don't really get a sense of panic or facing mortality; in fact, this race-against-time plot point is touched on much less than you might think. There are other script flaws, such as the fact that the movie at times keeps jumping back and forth from one character and location to another, resulting in potential momentum and thrills unable to build to their full potential. Also, the ending is to a degree somewhat unsatisfying. All the same, the production values are pretty good, the movie never has any dull moments, and the action sequences are well made and exciting. In the end, this isn't a terribly memorable actioner, but it does satisfy while you are watching it, and sometimes that level of entertainment can be welcomed and enjoyed.

moonrandy Awesome movie loved it Ethan hawk was excellent in it,super plot

FlashCallahan After a mercenary dies in a brutal firefight, a new regenerative surgery gives him a second chance at life and another shot at redemption........For 24 hours.......Ethan Hawke can multitask in whatever film genre there is.Pick a genre, and you'll find him appearing somewhere.It's a basic rehash of 3 days to kill mixed with In Time, and it hides nothing up its sleeve.If you want to see a film that basically rips those two films off, sprinkles a little Escape From New York in the mix, and has a one sheet that makes you think of Jack Bauer, look no further.We know Hawke needs redeeming, he's lost his family and has turned to drink.After an offer he can't refuse comes his way, he is fatally shot, but bought back by having a stop watch inserted in his arm, and having his skin dyed fours shades greyer. The mad on from Peaky Blinders is an old friend that guess what, turns out to be on the other side, so it's up to Hawke to find out what the devil is going on before the counter reaches zero.This should have been a frenetically paced B-movie, and even though it has some decent action moments, you can't help but think of better action films from yesteryear.Rutger Hauer pops up as the father-in-law, but this doesn't offer anything new to the action genre, and it's instantly forgettable....

Richie-67-485852 First off you get Ethan Hawke so sit back and enjoy this guy do his thing which is quite good. Then, a decent thriller-story with action and it just screams popcorn or sunflower seeds to keep the tension at times under control and to prevent nail biting/trimming. Fascinating premise takes place during a shoot-out and subsequently that had me very interested. Its break-through never before done in a movie of this sort. I first seen it in the original "The day the Earth Stood Still" movie with Michael Rennie at the helm. It was fascinating then and a good plot point and it still works today as this film demonstrates. I also enjoyed highly trained combat teams doing their finest not being invincible but giving a good fight when activated. Ready yourself and ....
