Running Time was filmed in black and white, in real time, and seemingly takes place in one continuous, fluid shot. It's a little like Hitchcock's "Rope," but it's on location! Carl, an ex-con who sets out to rob the prison laundry system where he worked for 5 years (while in the pen), has spent ten years in prison planning the ultimate heist. Upon his release, he meets up with a high school buddy, who's made all the arrangements for the job, and rented him a hooker for his first encounter in a decade with a real girl. After picking up the safecracker and their getaway driver, they've got twenty minutes to pull off the perfect heist...but soon everything falls apart before Carl's eyes. He might still get the girl, though!

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's the kind of dumb movie where you are encouraged to laugh at the pathetic losers on the screen. |
| User ReviewZach Rjosh becker makes it look like it was done all in one shot! amazing. and bruce is great as usual |
| User ReviewJustin Pmasterpiece of low budget cinema-wait-its actually no budget cinema. Josh Becker continues to be the best no-budget filmmaker of his generation and really should get some money thrown at him |
| User ReviewAlexis AVery good film. The continuous shot is brilliant and it is a compelling film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UFilmed all in one shot and with the immense Bruce Campbell starring, this film rules. |
| User ReviewStu GShot all in one take (sort of) this movie is very hitchcockesque..... Ahem |
| User ReviewJason OIt's one of those few Bruce Campbell movies that are actually good. One might think that it's too short a movie, but that's all they needed to say and it's all in one shot, which was done extremely well, so kudos to whomever it was that held that camera. |
| User ReviewWill WClever and original. Why the hell hasn't Bruce Campbell won an Oscar yet? |
| User ReviewLeann DI got this free with 'Evil Dead', the film that earned Bruce his cult following so a black and white film filmed in one continuous shot in real time sounded interesting. Carl (Bruce) is fresh out of prison after 5 years of good behaviour but has already a plan hatched for a heist with his school friend, a safecracker and a junkie getaway driver but not all plans run smoothly and it's only a matter of time until he finds out if the job will be a success or he will end up back in prison again. It's an amateur production but it's a good film and worth checking out esp if you're a Bruce fan. |
| User ReviewKeith WOne of the better "Indies" I've seen. It's hard to believe that Josh Becker made something like "Alien Apocalypse" after this. Good acting, camera work, storyline and direction. The one-shot illusion is a gimmick, but it works here. Check out "If I Had A Hammer" if you can. It's even better than this and is available in sections on Youtube. |
