After I finished it I was curious and looked at the reviews - they're pretty hilarious. Noah Berlatsky who has taken some shots at Chapo was one of the top reviews on Rotten Tomatoes lol. He did not seem to care for it.
I liked the concept but some of it felt a bit predictable and heavy handed. I couldn't take the part where he's racing to give his mother some time seriously at all.
Might just be because I'm a high anxiety person but the time gimmick had me sweating throughout the whole movie p much.
This is a pretty funny review of that guy's crappy essays.
It was very formulaic, very white-bread, and it leaned way too hard on the ticking time-bomb mechanic to juice up the stakes from scene to scene.
Elysium did this better. District 9 did it way better. If nothing else, the artistry of filming and acting just wasn't there. It was a mid movie, even before you get into the politics.
