VHS Movie Reviews of 15 Minutes [VHS]
Movie Review: Not That Bad of a Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
ok, ill be the first one too agree that this movie has it's flaws. But the story line is pretty good and it is a pretty entertaining movie. It kinda starts off really slow and the media part is kinda annoying but it also makes it a bit more realistic that way. It may not be Robert De Niro's best movie but he certainly makes it entertaing. And Edward Burns adds a really good element of acting to this movie and his performance is believable. The ending is pretty cool. It's kinda stardard hostage at gun point ending but i love those.
Summary of 15 Minutes [VHS]
15 Minutes wants to be provocative, but it exists in an alternate reality where rules of logic and credibility no longer apply. In his underrated film 2 Days in the Valley, writer-director John Herzfeld wryly exposed the underbelly of California's San Fernando Valley, but in the artificial New York City of 15 Minutes, he attempts a timely mixture of satire and social commentary that's only marginally convincing. Herzfeld's premise is both vivid and valid in addressing the deterioration of morals in American mass media, but in exploring the dark side of fame, the last few minutes of Taxi Driver have more impact than this entire movie.Robert De Niro stars as Eddie Flemming, a hotshot homicide detective whose current double-murder case teams him with arson investigator Jordy Warsaw (Edward Burns). Their investigation leads to a pair of Eastern European nut-jobs (one Czech, one Russian) who've embarked on an impromptu killing spree--all captured on video by the Russian, who fancies himself an auteur of the American dream. In a pileup of contrivances, a reporter (Melina Kanakaredes) is also Eddie's girlfriend, and a tabloid TV host (Kelsey Grammer) seeks the killers' video with the scruples of Adolf Hitler. Blink and you'll miss Charlize Theron in a throwaway role, but that's nothing compared to the killing of a major character--a scene devoid of emotion that's more grist for the media mill. With appalling bloodlust, 15 Minutes sheds a sickening light on America's twisted character, but instead of illuminating, it only darkens the gloom. --Jeff Shannon
