10 Minutes Gone

Bruce Willis must currently be the laziest actor in Hollywood. For the past few years, he has appeared in a string of movies produced by schlockmeisters Randall Emmett and George Furla, and in every one he just appears for a few minutes while getting a hefty paycheck for doing almost nothing. What's worse is that in those few minutes of screen time, Willis clearly shows that he doesn't give a darn about his surroundings and instead gives a sleepwalking performance. All this happens again in "10 Minutes Gone". Actually, even if Willis gave some effort, this would still be one very bad movie. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that the photography is fairly professional. Other than that, the list of bad things in the movie is endless. We have most of the movie seemingly filmed very quickly in derelict buildings and back alleys, hardly any set dressings, action sequences that are extremely routine and boring, a boring and unsuspensful main story thread, a performance by lead actor Michael Chiklis that suggests extreme displeasure and pain of being in this project, and a "surprise twist" near the end that you will guess long before it actually happens. Please, Bruce Willis, realize that you'd be better off retiring instead of further damaging your reputation by doing more quickie efforts like this!

One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time, and I'm a big Chiklis fan! As bad as the story is, Chiklis is worse and Willis is even worse. Not a redeeming second in this entire film, far more than "10 Minutes Gone" and wasted, more like 120 minutes. At least we got a bargain matinee price. Chiklis c'mon, what the hell were you thinking?

I like Bruce Willis and lately it seems he forgot how to act, or say no to bad rolls. I know I won't get fooled into watching a movie just because he's in it. I had to stop watching just before the ending, which could have come after 10 minutes had gone by. A waste of good talent.

I had to come to see who played Claire. Meadow Williams? I can't believe she was actually an actress, I thought they picked someone off the streets and had her read lines during the film. Wow... Even the star cast seems like they were just reading lines and not acting.

The second Brian Miller film where Bruce Willis just seems to turn up & shoot all his scenes within an hour, hardly moving from a single room. Wouldn't mind if the other actors pulled their weight but apart from Chiklis everyone else is out of their depth. Don't bother, very formulaic & predictable.
