      Audience Member Even the great Jake Busey couldn't quite save this film. He is great right? This is one of those films that tries to be smart but ends up failing on multiple levels. The film is confusing. Not because it's trying to be but because it's vision and direction isn't cohesive enough. The production values aren't really there and the cinematography truly bugged me. Either someone didn't know what they were doing or thought what they were doing looked good. With a mixture of different settings, dreams, reality, etc. and differing looks for each, while it allowed to distinguish slightly between each, it never looked good. When you then mix everything together you not only end up with a mish mash of story but visual styles which lends itself to leaving the viewer wondering why they're even watching the film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 3 of 5 stars for the high-speed suspense movie Time Bomb. This movie starts off fast, in fact, I thought I was starting near the end as things were crazy. The plot centers on terrorists who have planted time bombs around a football stadium set to go off at the end of a big game. Up front, these terrorists take over a bar and set a bomb to kill all those inside. The story follows the bomb squad and an FBI detective. Of course, the guys wife and kid are at the stadium and of course the bad guys are somehow able to watch his every move. This is a high speed movie that never stops with the action or suspense. Frankly it is a bit tiring. There really is no let-down during the story; it just keeps coming at you. There are plot twists but they are predictable and the plot surprises are guessable. So this is a good movie, but, not a great movie. I do recommend it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is Daniel Cook, this is Daniel Cook sitting in a car, this is Daniel Cook sitting in a car that explodes, blow up Daniel Cook, blow up. That is basically the highlight of this movie, it is slow, poorly acted and makes very little sense, but Daniel Cook gets blown up, so that is worth something. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty bad.....pass on this one! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is pure genius. Anyone who doesn't like it is stupid. Anyone who does like it is smart. To me what stands out most is the superior screenwriting.
