30 Minutes or Less is a pretty average film for the majority of its running time. In fact it didn't really get me much at all, early on. It was just such standard fare. But then amazingly, where so many other films fall down, 30 Minutes reveals that it has saved its best for last and really turns it on for (ironically) the last 30 minutes. The best acting, laughs, thrills and plot twists, all happen from the bank robbery onwards, right up to the hilarious post credits scene.
It ultimately does catch the right tone and everything plays out as it should. It's a pity that everything had to be so regulation and run of the mill for the first couple of acts. E.G. Jesse Eisenberg playing the fast-talking, too smug for his boots, slacker in which he frequently seems to specialise. Good thing that this hybrid-generic feature is only 83 minutes long, so potential viewers don't have to wait for an over-excessive amount of time, before things take a turn for the unexpected best. Look out for Michael Pena's Chango coming onto the scene. He plays a particularly funny and appealing hitman, who ends up being a spanner in everyone's respective works.
