Verdict on Zero Hour
Zero Hour is a thriller following a widowed woman who gets stalked by her husband’s killers. She finds herself getting messages from beyond the grave as she looks to find safety. However, she must be prepared to fight back against the killers.
This is a movie that uses a great concept, it has everything built it to make it truly great. However, it doesn’t feel like it sticks the landing in the way it wants to. It ends up becoming overly written in the final act, leading to a lot of things not feeling as earnt as they are revealed. Even if it hadn’t gone as heavy in what it wanted to say, it could have had a smoother ending than what we ended up getting.
Final Thoughts –Zero Hour is a thriller with such a good idea, however, it gets over booked in the end.
