Ticking Clock: Directed by Ernie Barbarash. With Cuba Gooding Jr., Neal McDonough, Nicki Aycox, Austin Abrams. A reporter stumbles upon the journal of a murderer replete with plans to butcher specific people, and investigates on his own, finding that every trail leads to a 9-year-old orphan living in a group home.

“I just want to be entertained and iu0026#39;m easy to please. I donu0026#39;t even see most of the flaws in a movie reviewers will typically mention. But only a few minutes into this and I was asking – can I stand to watch a movie where the main character is so unbelievably stupid? Can anyone act against their own self0interest so consistently? For that matter can the police really be as stupid and sloppy as this about what he tells them? Fortunately this settles down some after a bit, but itu0026#39;s actually the number one problem I have here. Otherwise I liked it. Could have done without the excessive clues to the u0026quot;twistu0026quot; ending though. Itu0026#39;s not not the sort of twist one expects in a crime film so it could have been played for a major, u0026quot;whaaaaa?u0026quot; effect, but they tossed that chance away.”
