Prairie Miller, NewsBlaze
A supernatural serial killer spree, this gory when not kooky itinerant gumshoe outing may keep viewers as unbalanced as the besieged protagonist subjected to cat and mouse delirium. Or would that be mouse and cat?

This is a pretty good movie, one that go by me when it played on the big screen. Lots of twist and turns, had me baffled for a long time. Gooding did an excellent job as he usually does, Don't want to say much about the movie other then its excellent, by saying anything that would give away the element of surprise. Its well worth 4 1/2 stars

It was allright to me, it's a crazy story but I understood it quite good and it was decent enough, cuba acted great. Lewis Hicks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a reporter and journalist specializing in writing about the crime of murder. Instead of writing his next story, Lewis becomes the story when his new girlfriend is sadistically murdered, and he is the only suspect. Lewis investigates the murder himself and finds the killer's journal with his past victims and a death list of his future prey. Lewis believes that he is the only person who can stop the killer before time runs out for his next victim.

"Ticking Clock" has a good concept, decent performances and intriguing story, nevertheless, the execution is poor and the ending was weak and lame. I think with a strong and dark ending it would had been a bit better movie.
