10 Minutes Gone

"10 Minutes Gone" is clumsy and cliché-ridden, and populated by two accomplished action stars who look like they just want to get through this job as quickly as possible.

Wearing the same pained expression the actor adopts for most of these low-budget features, Willis seems to grimace through every scene only as long as necessary to collect a paycheck.

The title of this movie proves unusually apt: You will figure out its climactic plot twist within the first 10 minutes.

Almost every element of the film has been seemingly engineered to be the ne plus ultra of slapdash ineptitude.

Now, if there was something winkingly camp about 10 Minutes Gone, it might be modestly viable entertainment. But it takes itself just seriously enough to render it flavorless mush...

10 Minutes Gone starts out with most of a gang planning a heist and discussing it in a bar over beers and whiskey (the best way to plan heists, naturally), and shortly after, it's difficult to determine what gets clumsier, the heist or the movie itself.

Works through as many cliches as possible in 90 minutes.

10 Minutes Gone wastes the talent of two Hollywood greats. Bruce Willis and Michael Chiklis are just collecting a paycheck here.

... aggressively formulaic crime thriller about backstabbing, macho posturing, and dishonor among thieves.
