Ticking Clock (2011 Video)
6/10
Better than his recent performances but he's not there yet

Warning: Spoilers
Hmmm where to start, it's hard to review this movie without giving spoilers so I'll just give you the basics of the movie. Cuba is divorced and is struggling to cope with his life and the struggles that go along with it. When he finds a killers book with names and dates in it he goes after him, trying to stop his next attacks.

When the movie started I laughed, I'm sorry but does anyone notice that each one of Cuba's movies start off with him drinking or him sweating? Just something I noticed. The movie goes at a pretty good pace. It does have some tension and pop-up moments that'll give you a startle but nothing major.

The storyline is OK, you may figure out what's going but if you don't the twist in the movie is a half decent one but could have been done a little better.

The acting is a always a problem in Cuba's movies and it was suspect again in this one. I do have to say it's better than a few of his other performances even though there are a few rough patches throughout the movie. I did enjoy Mcdonough's acting, it gave support to Cuba and added interest to the movie.

Overall you may like this if your a Cuba fan but don't expect anything mind blowing and don't expect anything better than an average straight to DVD release.

I give this a movie a 6/10 because I give credit to Cuba for improving since his last performances but he still has a ways to go.
