20 Minutes (2023)
10/10
This is why we go to the movies
23 March 2023
This film was delayed by COVID and other issues. Its almost as if we were not meant to see this. But now it is here and the question is, was it worth the wait? The answer is a resounding yes. I saw this film at a special media screening last week in Hawaii and it blew me away. The most touching scenes are at the end. People coming together - it doesn't matter about your race, ethnicity, tribe - if you've got 20 minutes...man. I like how the atheist comes around too.

The script is great and fast moving. Director Timothy Chey (a guy who has directed 15 movies including Showtime's 'Freedom') nails making the film about the real missile alert. Making the action sequences cinematic. And hugely poetic. Majority of the action scenes are practical and realistic which makes it better. The climatic sequence with the missile coming is profound. Definitely worth seeing this film on the biggest screen with great sound quality.

The best cinematic experience of my life and a perfect gift to all the Hawaii residents who got that missile warning.
