Preview Plot: 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-direct...( read more read more... )

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

    In a world of Triscuits, Wheat Thins, Wheatables, and melbetoast crackers, this blandtastic movie isn't even a saltine - it's a matzoh: flavorless, but in a way that's mildly untasty in its blandness. It's not really exciting, it's not noteworthy, and it's not even bad enough to remark upon. It exists merely as career-filler for its cast of actors. This movie is the plumb line for "mediocre," or maybe slightly below average.

    I like Ed Burns, especially his work on The Wire. This is sort of a commentary on the American culture and media...whatever - Oleg Takarov is in this too! The Russian Bear that won UFC 6.

    this is a half-assed attempt at an action/suspense movie. background music was too loud in many scenes. some characters where quite cliche and entirely predictable. it is satire in a way that is totally unoriginal, unconvincing, and stale. Nevertheless, the action was pretty good in parts.
    Also that De Niro.. dies in the middle of the movie I wasn't expecting that!
