24 Hours to Live (2017)

This film tells the story of an assassin, who is shot by the bodyguard of the target he has to assassinate. He is mysteriously revived and is given another mission that lasts for 24 hours.

I keep thinking there is something wrong with this film, but I can't pinpoint what it is. Maybe it's because of the absurdity of reviving someone for 24 hours. Why try and succeed in the mission, when you'll die in 24 hours regardless of success or failure? Another thing is that there seems to be a lot of movie logic present. Why use an office that is completely exposed to being shot, when you're interviewing a high value target? The story doesn't make much sense.

Fmovies: So, this movie is a cliche and we've seen it mosly before, but so what?

The is about an assassin who is played by Ethan Hawke, who is killed and bought back to life. That is all need be said.

The movie action is pretty standard, but in an era of overused CGI and everyone bandwagoning on Superhero movies, this is a gem.

It is more of a thriller action movie, with a sci-fi twist. It seems to be a smaller budge movie, but is a treat to watch with a high testosterone crowd or on the weekend.

I give it an 8 out of 10. It will not win an Oscar, but way better and enjoyable than those artsy fartsy movies than win awards due to identity politics or female empowerment.

Pure fun! I am glad that some writers/directors still love what they make. Every scene in this movie is very well portrayed (the shots, the scenery, all the elements). Ethan Hawke was great. He needs to make more action films. I never heard of this director but he directed the movie very well, and the editor was also great, very well paced (not boring at all). Excellent movie!

24 Hours to Live fmovies. I'll keep this brief, because frankly, that's all this film deserves.

Whilst the premise of a good revenge film has been masterminded in recent years by action packed thrillers such as 'Taken', 'John Wick' and 'Atomic Blonde', '24 Hours To Live' lands very much at the other end of the scale.

The story from the off seems like a convoluted concoction of 'Crank' and 'John Wick', by someone who's never actually seen either. There's plot holes galore, terrible acting (even Ethan Hawke, who is at least serviceable manages to pull off a poor, almost over the top, performance), what almost appear to be dubbed vocals half the time for 'Lin' and the script writing in general is pretty awful (every trope you'd expect, its in there).

The film does have it's occasional highlights, some of the action sequences are fairly well done, but in the end that doesn't come close to making up for this bargain bin DVD rendition of 'John Wick'.

4/10

Perfectly directed action flick, honest action scenes, non-deluded or fantasy action hero.. Great entertainment, flag ship for todays era of new type of B rated actions movies, which are concentrated more on choreography, effect and directness. This movie has it ! Dont be distracted by critical people who wants every move feels like Einstein... Fast and furious are shi**y movies with no realism, this movie can perfectly hide every single shortcomings..

I know Ethan Hawke used to starring in a lot of action movie but he never strike the lead action hero in my eyes until i saw 24 Hours to Live.His always sad and tired face intentional or unintentional make he fit the role perfectly that add a lot of emotional into the cliché dialogue.The movie is pure action from start to finish make it a good Saturday night flick when you lazy to go out.The ending is terrible btw
