Synopsis

When Eastern European criminals Oleg and Emil come to New York City to pick up their share of a heist score, Oleg steals a video camera and starts filming their activities, both legal and illegal. When they learn how the American media circus can make a remorseless killer look like the victim and make them rich, they target media-savvy NYPD Homicide Detective Eddie Flemming and media-naive FDNY Fire Marshal Jordy Warsaw, the cops investigating their murder and torching of their former criminal partner, filming everything to sell to the local tabloid TV show "Top Story."

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
tbills2 Hello I am Oleg from Mother Russia. No confuse please for dirty crazy man Oleg Razgul in 15 Minutes American movie. I am no crazy. I am fan for movie. No no I am not supreme Russian performer Oleg Taktarov as well but its okay to confuse me with him. Hahahahahahaha I make joke. Oleg Taktarov great man very sexy like hairy Siberian bear. Not like baby face Edward Burns look like young shaved boy. Edward must make women in America throw up meal in aisles of film theater. I sorry for Edward and he ugly face so no woman make love for him. Oleg make love to many woman many time. I love Vera Farmiga. Vera make Oleg very happy. Im not good at make English word for describe Vera so I hold while use Russian translator to make English. God Vera Farmiga looks just like absolutely gorgeous in 15 minutes honestly what the heck she's a really good actress man I love her this must have been the first movie I seen her too but I would definitely fall for Vera just like Burns' character did. Russian translator reign supreme over crappy American translator. Beautiful Robert De Niro best man at make believe. Thank you for my comrades liking review. This is Oleg to say go see 15 Minutes American movie. It is a very very very nice but crazy killer Emil very sad. Karel Roden is very good and almost steals show. In theaters now!
namashi_1 '15 Minutes' is Power-Packed! A Terrific, Edgy Film that has a strong script & impressive performances working on its advantage. '15 Minutes' Synopsis: A homicide detective and a fire marshall must stop a pair of murderers who commit videotaped crimes to become media darlings.'15 Minutes' catches you from the word GO & sustains its momentum till the very end. John Herzfeld's Screenplay is strong, offering terrific & edgy moments all through. Also, the gruesome violence adds weight to the proceedings. Herzfeld's Direction, on the other-hand, is equally good. Cinematography is excellent. Editing is decent.Performance-Wise: Bobby De Niro steals the show. A Yet Another WOW Performance from the Acting Giant! Edward Burns is first-rate. Kelsey Grammar is impeccable, as usual. Vera Farmiga is perfect. Karel Roden & Oleg Taktarov are very menacing, while Charlize Theron pops up in a brief cameo.On the whole, '15 Minutes' is a must watch.
Sandcooler Society's fascination with murderers is in itself so fascinating that people can't stop making films about the notion. Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" may have covered everything there was to cover on the subject, but that shouldn't suggest "15 Minutes" has no right to exist. Everything in this movie has sorta been done before, but that doesn't hurt it at all. You have your semi-likable good guys, you have your repulsive bad guys, here and there there's a surprise built in, what more could you really hope for? Writer/director John Herzfeld manages to keep the pace high, but is clearly not that into subtlety and creates some very unbelievable story elements. I love how Hollywood still thinks you can avoid every sentence there is by pleading insanity. It's a bit more complex than that, guys. Still, "15 Minutes" is quite an enjoyable ride, rough around the edges but it does make you think.
dreadnaugt This movie starts out interestingly enough, but right from the start it suffers from Identity crisis. Who's the main character? Bad guys, good guys? Firemen? Police? It has split your attention 3 ways and it's not easy to enjoy from that mistake. Also, the film is supposed to be funny sometimes, and you think Deniro has a new sidekick. Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it a cop movie? Or a news movie? Then before you know it, the character they spent the whole movie teaching you about:with details about his love life, his crime scene investigation, his history with the media, is dead. Not a good way to go 3/4 of a way through. If Titanic had detailed the lives of 5 characters on board the ship, killed of Jack before the boat went down, made the ice berg a character, and gone in so many directions it would have been a flop too. The producers new they had a flop on their hands, and they tried to fix it by releasing it late. Woops....did not work.
