GoogleJo & Co Mar 12, 2022 It was OK although very repetitive during the middle of the movie and a mother worrying about her teenage son did some very strange things. The iPhone messaging and calling was too much and shots of her falling and limping were followed by her walking and even running without any discomfort. Then the next shot she was running fine and then next scene she was limping. She even got concussed! So some appalling continuity.. The end piece tacked on with her teenage son appealing to families to watch their kids more was totally unnecessary. The movie should have told that message without it The final meeting with her son was a relief but also from us not having to hear all that phoning. There should have been more back story with her relationship with her son and why it deteriorated after her husband /his father died. It would have been much more moving. The star, Naomi Watts, was on the screen the whole time and I wish my iPhone had a battery in it that lasted so long and have a range that could fine internet coverage in a remote woodland. She did as good a job as anyone could dealing with that script and talking to so many voices over a cell phone! It was not as bad as some of the 1 and 2 stars out of 10 reviews would suggest. They must be the super-hero, non stop, crazy noisy action brigade. But the movie, "The Desperate Hour", sadly was not great. See more Jerome L Feb 26, 2022 Slow (in fact, very slow) developing but then totally engrossing film. See more Ruwade Bryant T @RT72332009 Aug 3, 2026 Probably the worst movie I’ve watched to date. Shittest story line, no suspense, and rather just frustration. Watching a mum run the first for 50 minutes and just taking phone calls gets pretty boring. 0/10 would recommend.

See more Victoria F @RT83079776 Oct 27, 2025 No idea why this got such bad reviews and I’m SO pleased I gave it a chance. Gripping from start to finish and Naomi Watts is just brilliant. The fact that she is utterly alone for so much of the movie adds real desperation to the story. Definitely ignore the tomatometer on this one!! See more Read all reviews
