96 Minutes:::Movie Review

96 Minutes

Can I just say how much I love Netflix??  I really love it.  Although I have watched my share of truly awful movies (*cough...A Haunting in Salem...*cough) available on their Watch Instantly service, I've also been fortunate enough to watch some really great ones.




This movie was nothing like I expected it to be.  A bunch of people I'd never heard of (other than Brittany Snow) in a concept that could end up tired and overdone.

This was really good.  Snow - who I'd only seen in fluff roles or comedies such as in The Pacifier, was really strong in this.  Evan Ross (who plays Andre) was amazing.  I'd never heard of him and, looking at his IMBD account, it doesn't look like he's been in a lot of high-profile stuff.  His performance was fantastic.  Directors and producers should be clamoring to work with him.  

Retracing the steps that led four young people down a fateful path of decision-making, this indie thriller tells the story of a violent carjacking from the perspective of both the perpetrators and their unsuspecting victims.
