Sixty Minutes to Midnight

About This Movie

So, 'Sixty Minutes to Midnight' is a curious little thriller from 2017, and I have to say it has a certain gritty charm to it. The premise is pretty wild—set on New Year's Eve in '99, a regular construction worker gets thrust into this deadly game show. The pacing is a bit erratic at times but it adds to the tension. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of dread, and the practical effects are surprisingly well done for a low-budget flick. The performances, especially the lead, capture that frantic desperation really well. It's not going to change your world, but it's got a unique vibe that makes it stand out among the typical thrillers of its era.

Set in 1999, adds a nostalgic layer. · Unique premise involving a deadly game show. · Strong practical effects for its budget.
