Overtime (2012)

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

One of my all time favorites.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

OVERTIME is your typical slacker indie comedy about a couple of hit men out on a routine job who become embroiled in the zombie apocalypse. The film is quite laughable really and not in a good way. It's packed full of influences and references to other movies, but as a film in itself it really doesn't look good. The zombies are laughable and the shaky camera-work more likely to induce a headache than anything else. At times the film pauses for some weird soap opera-style interludes that seem to forget the zombie menace entirely.

This movie does not deserve a 10, but it definitely deserves more than the meagre 5.4 score that it had on IMDb at the time I wrote this review, so I'm giving it a full blown 10/10 just to improve its score a bit. I've seen so much professionally made rubbish from Hollywood lately that OVERTIME, even though it has an amateurish look and feel to it, came as a very WELCOME, almost REFRESHING and certainly ENTERTAINING movie!Sure, you can criticise all you want, even with good reasons when analysing this movie in depth, but then again critics usually lack sense of humour and depth is not what this movie is about... This movie was clearly made with a lot of love. And humour. Trying to make this movie better would actually make it worse. It's just perfect as it is, it's got its own style. And a lot of FUN!It is way better than many high budget movies I have seen in the past decade, even though I would not call OVERTIME something very original, it is still quite more original and way more creative than the average main stream pretentious and pedantic movie that takes itself too seriously. I've seen so called "block busters", epic ones at that, that were not even worth the waste of celluloid! I bet you thought PROMETHEUS was good! In that respect OVERTIME earns an 8/10 (compaired to the main stream rubbish, that is).So THUMBS UP for this one. Don't expect toooo much and you certainly won't be disappointed! I certainly wasn't disappointed.WORTH WATCHING!

Overtime was a really entertaining movie to watch- I guarantee you will not be bored for a single moment while watching it. The film was really well-done in every aspect- awesome camera-work, awesome editing, awesome effects, awesome acting, awesome everything. Al Snow and John Wells did a great performance. They were hilarious and had great chemistry together throughout the whole movie. Both are likable characters who will lead you through an action-packed adventure with some laughs and funny one-liners thrown in there. I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a unique and entertaining horror/action/comedy movie to watch!

OVERTIME the movies action travels at the speed of light. This fast paced, thrill ride, IS the must see movie of the Summer. Al Snow, and John Wells, are the new "Butch and Sundance" of Action Films. Everything, from the great direction of Matt Niehoff, to the slick, and tight cinematography of Brian Cunningham, makes this film a smash hit. The icing on the cake in this movie, is accentuated by the driving soundtrack from Jason Paige, and the Villbillies. They say dynamite comes in small packages. Well THIS little Independent film, will hit you like freight train on steroids. So strap in, hold on, and get ready for the ride of your life. IT'S OVERTIME !
