30 Minutes or Less Review

by    |  

30 Minutes or Less is a strange sort of film, but the elements are all there to make for a decent bit of entertainment. It is an affably ridiculous action comedy that takes an extremely convoluted plot and boils it down to a film that clocks in at just a shade over 80 minutes. The film continues in the same self-referential vein of most hybrid comedies of the past few years, with nods to everything from Die Hard and The Great Santini , to Friday the 13th Part 3 . It all adds up to a film that is fun while it lasts, but ultimately ends up going nowhere special.
