Time Bomb Audience Reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Uncertain if he has already been infected by the virus, Jason must struggle to decipher which explosions are real and which are in his head. When you see the poster for Time Bomb you would expect your typical low budget action film but this movie actually tries to be serious it's part drama, part thriller and part action and it basically failed in every way you could imagine. (1/10)
mikemdp This would have been a fine, creative essay on war, grief and PTSD, if it weren't for the stupid "mad scientist" plot device that screams that the writer and director had no faith at all in their ability to craft a fine, creative essay on war, grief and PTSD.The production values are mid to high, though, and Jake Busey, while creepily looking exactly like his father circa 1975, has a greater acting range than papa has displayed in his later, regrettable "Gingerdead Man" career.Here, Jake turns out a sensitive, yet fearless performance reminiscent of "Big Wednesday"-era Gary, and it's a pleasure to watch.Just wish he were given a better movie to perform in.
Michael O'Keefe Yes, it is hard to forget those memories that just keep coming back. As far as director Erin Berry's Time Bomb...beware of any faint ticking. And as far as understanding...forget trying. Jason Philby(Jake Busey)is a soldier in Iraq that has a major mental problem with suicide bombings around him on a daily basis. All bringing back the memory of losing his young son when their stranded SUV explodes. This war vet's grasp on reality slips badly as he discerns himself with a covert operation being conducted involving military scientists creating the ultimate suicide bomber via virus. Busey is joined by: Deborah Odell, Matthew MacFadzean, Richard Fitzpatrick and Vik Sahay.
Saturnfly Okay, so lets start off with my overall thought of this flick, it was average. But unlike a vast majority of the people who has seen this, I did enjoy it, and I did watch it from beginning to end, however I was still left in disbelief as to what I had just seen. This isn't the kind of film that if you watch it over and over, it will start making sense, because nor does this movie fail to succeed in clearing specific details up, it also fails at creating a realistic storyline. But not every story that has been written is based on reality, this is purely someones imagination playing a hand at poker. He thinks he has a good hand, but really... he's just an amateur at heart, trying to make something interesting, but ending up WAY over the top. Nothing wrong with that though, as long as no one expects an Oscar.This movie has an uncomfortable atmosphere, the characters were creepy and to some extent, intense. I was really let down when Jason's son didn't have that big a role, because obviously this story began around his death, and it was clear that the kid who played him is very talented, they should have given him some more scenes to bloom for his resume.Jake, Jake, Jake... You were given a lead role, you were given SO many chances to create something here for yourself, a nice big juicy "well you see, the movie sucked, but that Jake, he really had me glued!" But I was slightly let down. Okay, more than slightly, but I don't want to mentally damage this man. Because I've seen some of his other stuff and I thought he was BRILLIANT. But he is clearly either a freaky psychopathic serial killer, or... a comedy jewel. However I appreciate him leaping into something different for a change. He's talented when given the right roles. This movie did not let him go very far with my expectations. This film, if it were made by film students would be above average.But I would definitely recommend a watch if you are incredibly bored and enjoy far too original films. It doesn't deserve a three though, common, you can see the effort and the camera work very much impressed me.
