96 Minutes (2012)

Genre: Drama / Thriller
Directed by: Aimée Lagos
Cast: Brittany Snow, Evan Ross, Christian Serratos, J. Michael Trautmann
Running time: 93 minutes



This dramatic thriller covers a day in the life of four students, with distinct stories, whose path will cross. Over the course of a 96 minutes period, their lives will be forever changed as they travel together in the same stolen vehicle, with one of them badly injured by a bullet to the face.

96 Minutes goes back and forth between the intense car ride and the events that lead to it and it does a good job of it. The movements in time were seamless. Great job by the director, as the pace was kept fast, and we were kept guessing all the way through as far as how it would end.

As far as the acting was concerned, the performances were mostly OK, though nothing was really spectacular in that department. The ending was disappointing, and it felt a little rushed.

Overall, this is a decent thriller, with some good and bad elements. Very average.
