Blu-Ray Review: Well-Cast ‘Five Minutes of Heaven’ Tries Too Hard
Submitted by mattmovieman on April 26, 2010 - 2:51pmCHICAGO – “Five Minutes of Heaven” is a good film with the potential to be a great one. Though it garnered prizes for its writing and direction at Sundance, it’s precisely the work of screenwriter Guy Hibbert and director Oliver Hirschbiegel that makes the film occasionally falter. This material may have worked better as a two-man play featuring the same two stars, whose brilliant performances help the picture succeed in spite of itself.
