Critic Reviews

Mark Caro

The surprise here isn't that 15 Minutes isn't a masterpiece; it's that the movie works at all.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

A first-rate Hollywood entertainment--at least if one can accept the schizophrenia of combining a cop/buddy action thriller with an angry satire about the shamelessness of the media. Read full review

Peter Travers

Maitland McDonagh

Michael Atkinson

15 Minutes settles into Richard Donner-style goulash. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

Manohla Dargis

Isn't just rotten -- badly acted, badly written, badly conceived -- it's dead inside. Read full review
