Movie Info
Venezuelan hit man Parca the Reaper takes over a Caracas hospital in the middle of a medical strike, and holds the staff hostage in a desperate attempt to save his girlfriend's life. Meanwhile, as police surround the building and the media circus gets underway, Parca becomes a folk hero by agreeing to give up one hostage for each new patient admitted. But when tensions in the hospital spill out into the streets, a heroic gesture has unexpected consequences. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

It's a pitiless picture, but a visceral movie going experience.
October 19, 2011 | Rating: 3/4
In line with the 'urban gunslinger' iconography of Zapata's hip-hop roots, violence against the system is portrayed as a means to personal and social redemption and staged with a coolness that strives to make the brutality palatable.

The Zero Hour Quotes
| Dr. Cova: | It's different when it hits close to home, isn't it? |
| El Gringo: | How cute. Now he thinks he's St. Delinquent. |
| La Parca: | When hospitals go on strike, it's poor people like them who pay the consequences. The wealthy are fine and dandy in their private clinics. |
