Objectively I'm sure there's plenty of negative things I could say about _24 Hours to Live_. I mean, it's not exactly a cerebral thriller. But these action scenes are the exact right kinda fun. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._ ...
Can't shake the feeling that this should have been way better than it was. Disappointed and a little hurt that Ethan Hawke would be cast in such an abysmal role. ...
76/100 A professional mercenary is brought back from the dead using a medical technique developed by the company he works for. Unfortunately, it only gives him 24 hours and the company finds that it probably wasn't a good idea to bring him back. A exceptionally well made film with a realistically ... presented story, despite the unrealistic premise, excellent performances from both Ethan Hawke and Qing Xu, and some absolutely stellar, brilliantly choreographed action and gun fight sequences. Very exciting stuff! -- DrNostromo.com
