96 Minutes


If Crash were re-cast and re-imagined as an Atlanta-set teen drama about a carjacking gone awry, it might resemble something like 96 Minutes, a wan thriller, co-starring Brittany Snow, whose reach for socio-economic/ethnic insight and relevance far exceeds its meager grasp. Despite a few good moments and performances, overly familiar plotting and a dearth of insight doom this padded, grandiloquent melodrama, no matter its claim that it’s based on true events.
