After watching 30 minutes, I can firmly say that I don't wish to watch anymore. A heavy "made for tv" movie feel with the proper cutaways and all! The production value was better than I initially expected, but the cheesy character actions and subpar acting really drag it down. My friend CaptDesko, I'm sad to report that the journey has ended in a fiery blaze of mediocrity. I can go no further, I yield. =( Excellent quality, many thanks to GalaxyRG! |
Lol, Yesterday I went to YouTube because guest 5811 mentioned the trailer... It wasn't anywhere, but I found three full copies instead, and it turns it's a "Lifetime original" After a quick scrolling through I figured just as much as you did. |
You guys still haven't figured out how to judge a movie by its cover yet? I've gotten so good, all I have to see is the font. |
I agree with you Helpme, I don't usually check trailers, but now I wanted to see if that last screenshot was really at the end of the movie. Other than that I'm also pretty accurate judging films by their cover/plot/screenshots... but that's only useful for myself, I can't tell if others will like or dislike. |
Screenshot #2 Is that Columbo (Peter Falk) "Just one more thing" |
The trailer looks so bad.. but I've a real question guys where are tosgravely and Jaxe? Both just vanished. |
Jaxe was last seen 10 days ago, I'm a bit worried. Tosgravely made a comment 2 days ago so I wouldn't consider him vanished so soon. |
Mr. J., posted that he was taking a leave of absence to deal with a family loss. I'm sure he'll be back when he's ready. Take care Jaxe |
@jaxe I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy Ever since you went away Every hour of every day I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy No matter what I say or do There's just no getting over you |
ReadThis hasn't posted a 'review' in over 24 hours either Blessing in disguise maybe |
Yay tosgravely is here he and Jaxe make great reviews. LiberalLesbo sorry for his loss man, FeelsBadMan. I hope Jaxe get better soon. |
false advertising - it ain't 12 desperate hours , its 1 desperate hour along with 27 minites of rubbish |
The trailer lked so bad that to watch the full movie left us questioning our collective insanity |
The quality is not suprizing coming from a Showgirl cast member. Gershon got famous on that movie because she had better boobs than her coworker. Can't call Gershon a costar as she was not intended to be more popular than the main character. So with pedigree like that, this is the kind of movie you get. |
unfortunately so, let's see if the journey is still worth it. I'll report back soon. |
Thanks TGx and BONE for another week of Lifetime/LMN movies, and everyone involved in getting the movies to us, much appreciated!:) "12 Desperate Hours", A/V=10/10...5 stars as shown for both above, as the encoding was perfect as always!:) Thank you both very much!:) The movie was good and both the Mrs. & I enjoyed it very much. We thought although we knew what would occur in the end, during the majority of the movie, we had no idea of what lengths he would go to, nor where his character had developed over the past, which made for a good story!:) The acting was good as well and we gave it a combined M=6.0 We think others that haven't seen this movie would like this, if this genre fits their taste!:) Have a great week everyone!:) RT! |
Its yer not-too-bad production of your regular soft thriller chick flick. It's mild, cheesy and average but it doesn't totally suck. Have you ever heard of the idea "a movie made worth seeing only for a scene in it"? For the bored cynical pervert in me that was the scene of this middle aged woman running out of the bowling alley towards her car, bouncing her tits off. |
Is this supposed to be somehow based on that thing years back in Atlanta , carjack maybe I forget , lady drives guy around for hours even gives him some meth she had on her and what not before he finally let it end. Just has a feel like Lifetime wanted to do it with less meth and boobs. |
Directed by Gina Gershon? Hopefully her directing skills are better than her acting skills. She has a resume full of roles in bad movies like Showgirls. |
Told you he'd be back You're always missed Mr. J., nice to see that avatar popping up again |
