24 Little Hours

Possibly the worst film I've ever seen, I say possibly as there must be worse I just can't think of one right now. Let's start with the positive yep it's only one. Marc Bannerman was excellent, and considering I've seen more of this man incidentally on the street than on any screens in the last ten years I was surprised. Believable, didn't over do the tough guy routine a genuinely solid and enjoyable performance. As for the rest, awful seriously absolutely awful. Wooden acting, ludicrous wardrobe decisions, even the sets made no sense. What police officer carries out interviews with a pen pot in reach of possibly dangerous suspects? The dialogue was bordering on comical, the "story" about as engaging as watching ice melt if it wasn't for Bannerman occasionally popping in with some talent I wouldn't have got through it. Save some time watch adverts you'll get more out of it

Is this one of the worst films I've ever seen, or am I missing the point? Firstly the acting is atrocious, more wooden than a carpenters workshop, however, Bannerman is ok. The sound is bad, even with the over the top cockney vernacular, it's very hard to tell what anyone's saying. The landscape shots are ok, they seemed to have spent more time and money on these than the acting. The dialogue is like something out of a cartoon. I liked the sequencing very much. But all in all it was awful. The killer had the best deal, never saying a word. And the ending, my mouth was wide open, not through shock and horror, but shear disbelief!!

I spent most of the film threatening to turn it off, but didn't either from a morbid fascination, or the farcical hope that it was going to turn into a musical.

Still confused!!!

I was intrigued by all the glowing user reviews of this movie. Having laboriously worked my way through this truly appalling, dreadful thing, I emerged at the far end wishing it had English subtitles (I was bought up in south London but the echoing audio quality which sounded as if the cast had spoken into metal buckets, was so poor I missed half the dialogue - perhaps no bad thing). The acting was dreadful (and - for the record - there are a couple of really talented actors among this ensemble). The dialogue sounded like it had been written by a 14 year old who had secretly gained access to his uncle's slasher movie stash. I could imagine the mocked up police interview room to be in a large Isle of Dogs warehouse, rented for 2/6 a week. Apparently the production shoot was 8 days - does this not say something? Trite, formulaic, unimaginative, and an obviously rushed production. Of course, it is easy for someone like me to criticize, but other, much better films with even smaller budgets have produced so much more. I couldn't recommend this to a friend.

I've seen better student films. This looks like it has been shot on a camcorder, the audio sounds tinny and wrong, clearly they are running around with toy guns, the after effects gunshots look ridiculous.

The plot is just dumb. Acting is terrible. Any positive reviews are probably from the film maker and his mates.

Don't waste your time.

Is this supposed to be a comedy ?

Awful acting, unrealistic scenarios and all round bad.

Couldn't watch after the first ten minutes of the annoying opening scene at the police station.

Also the background rap (or attempted rap) music is terrible.

Only one thing could have saved this and that would be for it not to have been made.

Awful.
