12 horas

12 horas claims to be part of the Dogma movement on movies. This is a great marketing gig because in reality this movie is a wreck! From some awful acting from the leads and a convulted and meanningles storyline, this is a pretentious piece filled with cheesy cliches about the "night life" in Puerto Rico. The promise of different lives criss-crossing with teh taxi driver is another lie. What you will see is four bad oriented stories , literally copied and pasted together in a very "hip" way. An insult to what really happens in the streets of Puerto Rico. ! I cannot recomend it to any serious cinema lover.

A few minutes after I started watching this movie I completely forgot that it was just a movie with actors just portraying their respective characters. I truly felt that I was watching "real people" as they went about their respective twelve hours in this movie. I wonder why this movie was not nominated for any Oscars!

I have,unfortunately, lived away from my Puerto Rico since 1978 but watching this movie I felt that I was back, watching this story develop right in front of my eyes.

Although most of the actors, with the exception of Marcos Betancourt, were unfamiliar to me I was absolutely impressed with their performance. Hopefully, I will see all of them in future movies!

Its really a shame that shallow tripe like this is representing our country's film community. There are a lot of talented people working here in PR, but sadly, what mostly gets filmed and shown is the WORSE things. 12 Horas is truly a big shame for us cinema lovers down here in PR..

A wonderfully energetic film with little story and ill-advised ending. I hope these people make lots more movies, and that they find a good writer who can tie up the loose ends without resorting to shallow tragedy. I was especially fond of Flavia Manes Rossi, but everyone was lively and interesting. A very talented cast.

The movie follows along the path of movies such as Amores Perros and Babel. If you like movies where you have multiple stories taking place, then you'll like this movie. The movie is in Spanish, filmed on location in Puerto Rico, and gives you a brief taste of what Puerto Rico is like in some parts of the country. One of the guys from Menudo makes a star appearance in the movie, and does a good job in his acting. I can't recall much from the movie as far as details are concerned, but I do recall I enjoyed it as much as my wife did. I do recall that much of the movie takes place during the night. It's been several years, and we have been wanting to watch it again. Check out the movie, if you can. That's if you can find it playing at one of those independent theaters or if you can find it on video.
