Review of Timecode

Timecode (2000)
7/10
Not boring
4 September 2001
Every so often, I see a film on cable and I've never heard of it and I try to guess the title. In 1,000,000 years, I never would've come up with "Time Code." The four-way screen is done very effectively. The film holds your interest . . . possibly even to see it again. But it is marred by two big drawbacks. The movie's themes are old and trite (Hollywood casting couch, etc.) and the earthquake scenes do not ring true. People do not stop talking about an earthquake five seconds after it happens. And they also seem very contrived, like the raining frogs scene in a disastrous film that we won't name. Also, what happened to Jeanne Tripplehorn? I thought she could act.
