The Desperate Hour

"Super stressful movie, & as a parent, very frustrating at times. Naomi Watts plays this part well as she's known to do in so many other roles. "

"This was only ok. All the running and phoning stressed me out. Also, who runs that far from home in the first place without water?!😆"

"I was desperate, but not enough to watch this for an hour. SO BAD. I watched half an hour before I tapped out. All of it took place on a trail with drone shots & bad camera work. If you have common sense you'll know what is going to happen within 5 minutes of the movie. PASS"

"I thought this was so good. You just figure it out then it goes in another direction . Love Naomi Watts! "

"30 minutes in and I was over it. It wasn’t as suspenseful as it should’ve been being a single actor movie it just fell short for me. "

"My opinions on this movie changed every couple of minutes, but in the end, I’d say it was decent. At first I was really stressed out and annoyed by the repetition, shaking camera, (meant to be like that but was irritating me), and the constant phone calls to and from the main character. The scenery almost never changed until the very last minute of the movie, making it extremely hard to stay engaged with the movie. Now, as much as I was annoyed by some of these poor filming choices, (likely due to low funding for the movie) the emotions (of worry & anxiety over your child when in danger) were definitely well represented and well played by Naomi Watts. I also was pleasantly surprised to discover that my prediction (that is normally right) was not correct, which always makes me happy. As others have mentioned already, there are no action scenes or graphic content making it less of a thriller and more of a drama I’d say. Overall, it’s worth the watch, but just know that there are some things that you may find annoying. Lol!"

"A good movie, but understand low ratings. Most of the movie is about the mother who is trail jogging, and hears of a school shooting at her son's school, trying to speak with various ppl to confirm he is safe while trying to get to the school from her remote location. Not an action packed with scenes inside the school. More of a parent perspective while out doing everyday things. The panic, emotion, and need to ensure your child is safe. Unfortunately this continues to be a relevant topic."

"It was different and also addresses school violence in the U. S. "

"Suspenseful and emotional "
