15
MINUTES
Synopsis
A
decorated police detective, played by Robert De Niro,
teams up with Ed Burns to investigate a murder committed
by someone who was seeking his "15 minutes" of fame. As
the investigation proceeds, the case receives oversaturation
from local media, bringing the detectives in conflict
with an abrasive talk show host played by Kelsey Grammer.
Review
When
a film is great everyone knows it, and this is the least
I can say about "15 Minutes"!
With unpredictable events unfolding at every turn of the
picture, one can only keep up with the events currently
on screen.
Thanks
to a wonderfully talented cast, the film broke the barriers
of a typical action drama, forcing the audience to think
deeper than ever before. Bringing together the tension
of Eastern Europe and the gold-filled USA, the story shows
two men (Polish and Russian) trying to get their piece
of the pie the only way they know how...through crime.
At every moment when you try to predict the conclusion
of the film a scene goes far beyond surprising you and
actually leaves you speechless.
