The Desperate Hour

Never have I ever disliked a film so quickly. The constant recorded messages, voicemails and ring tones that we all hate so much, are a major feature of this film. The panic and negativity of a typical pessimist comes out strongly too which is highly annoying as she fears the worst right from the start with no evidence whatsoever to support her fears. She does not stop using her phone throughout the entire film and I only know that because I skipped the entire movie from 15 minutes in, by 5 minute slots. I kinda put together the plot and ending just through a montage of shots I saw every 5 minutes and tbh it could easily have been nothing more than a short film. God knows who financed this monstrosity but I bet they are kicking themselves.

A movie about the US gun shooting. And now I'm not giving a low grade because of politics, not American and couldn't care less. As a movie is boring, souless, pointless. I never felt any attachment for the characters as they aren't even presented to me. Not the kid, not the shooter. I guess it assumes why he does it is irrelevant, I don't know. But this is a movie. Or maybe they never wanted to do a movie.

I can't believe Naomi Watts is in a movie like this. Either she got a loan from the bank and couldn't pay it back... Either she owes money to the mafia, or the producer/director is someone she loves very much and he couldn't answer no. This could be the worst movie in Watts' filmography.
