    Terrible screenplay, great potential. Ed Burns thinks he's SO cool in this movie and so many others. DeNiro is DeNiro, good. There is fun to be had, but it is a junky movie.

    Has some okay scenes between Burns and De Niro, but overall it misses the point it's trying to make.

    A total piece of junk and waste of time. Why would De Niro get himself involved with such crap? Could it be he's only in it for the money?

    If you like sensless violence and a pointless plot, then this is a great move for you.

    Boasts a fine cast and makes enough cogent points that it rises above standard cop fare.
  2. 25
    It takes a concerted effort to make a movie as relentlessly stupid and grating as 15 Minutes.
  3. 75
    The surprise here isn't that 15 Minutes isn't a masterpiece; it's that the movie works at all.
