don s @RT97868663 12/16/2015 A decent little indie drama showing a carjacking from both the victim and perpetrator point of view. It all comes together with the downfall of a young man who was trying to do right, but was hanging with the wrong people at the wrong time. See more 07/28/2015 96 minutes is a story of two boy from the poor side of town and their fatal collision one night with two privileged girls in a carjacking gone wrong. There isn't much to say about this one; its got a Crash vibe to it where it analyzes people in a sociological aspect, often using flashbacks. Unlike Crash however, these sequences are abrupt and choppily placed in the movie and it could get disorienting. My main criticism is the poor acting jobs. Brittany Snow is adaquet, but the real weakness is the two male leads. Evan Ross at times is okay, but he often delivers his dialogue in a forced manner. Trautmann portrays am obnoxious wannabe gangster, and he could be absolutely terrible, constantly yelling and spitting words as he tried to talk tough, making him difficult to understand. It was just a tedious film overall, despite not the poorest of setups regarding suspension building. I was too annoyed to care about the film and it wasn't as intelligent as I hoped. See more 06/10/2015 I thought that the switching from the car jacking to the previous hours was very brilliant ! See more 10/20/2014 when people make bad decisions they comeback to bite them. looking hard will get u in the yard. decent portrayal of a real life night gone horribly wrong See more 05/10/2014 i think its ironic that a picv called 96 minutes is only 93 minutes long. didnt care 4 this 1 See more 02/15/2014 They're not where you're from, they're from where you've been. Two kids from the wrong side of the tracks and broken homes are trying to make the best of life. One kid tries to do better through school and education and the other kid tries to join a gang and prove himself. The good kid tries to convince the other kid to change his life, but he gets caught in the middle of a bad situation that will impact their lives forever. "None of your business is where I've been, you little bitch." Aimee Lagos, who worked on the A Man Apart and Big Fish projects, delivers 96 Minutes in his directorial debut. The storyline for this picture is very compelling and even better knowing that it is a true story about some kids in St. Louis. I loved how it all unfolded and the acting was way better than I anticipated. The cast includes Brittany Snow, Evan Ross, David Oyelowo, Anna Enger, Christian Serratos, and J. Michael Troutmann. "You took something from me I'll never have back. I hate you." I was actually surprised I liked this movie so much. I really liked the way each character's story is told and even the subplots of the uncle and nephew was fascinating and well presented. Overall, this is a current coming of age drama that is definitely worth your time and a must see. "Don't kiss her so hard you'll scare her." Grade: B+/A- (8.25) See more Read all reviews
