"80 Minutes" is "DOA" for the post-Tarantino generation. Thomas Jahn proves to be a better director than writer (something which, judging by his IMDb page, he seems to have realized himself; after 2011, he only directs): the film maintains a speedy forward movement, and it has some good car stunts. But the dialogue is often amateurish, and the ending practically cancels out the entire movie! I've seen this type of ending done before, successfully, ("The Game" comes to mind), but here it just makes "80 Minutes" a waste of, well, a few more than 80 minutes. Also, the stupendously sexy Natalia Avelon is wasted in a rather minor part. *1/2 out of 4.
