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

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Herzfeld's sophomore movie is one long howl of rage over the relationship between criminals, journalists and thrill-hungry audiences. Read full review

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

The acting was good, the story was interesting and the movie was entertaining. Sure, there were a few plot holes and the characters didn't always act like real people, but it was still an enjoyable, mindless action film.
