My review of 57 Seconds

My review of 57 Seconds 

Intro: What gives Mr. Freeman? 

57 Seconds: This movie is centered on a journalist name Franklin Fox who is trying to expose a pharmaceutical company. One day he saves a CEO of a rival company and he finds a ring that allows him to travel back 57 seconds. Franklin gets his chance to expose this company but it proves to be more difficult than he thought. So, he has to use his ring to get out of a jam before it's too late. 

This movie is a waste of potential! I say that because this movie could have been a social commentary about the healthcare system. The movie focuses on the main character's objective than that. It could have been better if there was a character that promote using natural remedies to get and stay healthy. Putting time travel in this movie doesn't do much to push the story forward. Why is Mr. Freeman in this movie if he's just a cameo? I wouldn't have minded what he tried to do in this movie if it was foreshadowed. There is a scene in the movie that has no payoff.

Franklin Fox is a man on a mission. That's what bugs me about him I wish the movie would show his motivation instead of telling us. 

Jala ( Franklin's love interest.) is a supporting character. The film could have given them more time together so their relationship to develop. 

Sig Thorensen is a ruthless and manipulative CEO. 

The only thing I like about this movie is time travel is not complicated. The main character uses it to make his life better. All in all, this is one of those movies that has interesting ideas but lacks focus.
