About This Movie
Buying Time, this 1989 flick, has a gritty vibe that really pulls you in. The pacing is uneven at times, but it adds to the tension as you follow these two petty thieves—Jabber and Reno—as they get caught up in a larger game. The atmosphere is thick with the city’s underground, and the practical effects hold up decently for its time. The performances have a raw edge, which suits the crime thriller genre well. The whole blackmail angle adds a layer of moral complexity, you know? It’s not just a simple cat-and-mouse; it delves into the choices these guys make. The character of Curtis King is intriguing, and the film builds a sense of dread as they uncover more than they bargained for.
Not widely known, but has a unique charm. · Watch for the practical effects, they add to the raw feel. · Great for fans of late '80s crime thrillers.
