Today's film (just one!) was Real Time, by Randall Cole. This film deals with the last hour and a half of a ne'er do well gambler as he attempts to get everything in order before being killed because of outstanding debts.
While the film is shot in what is more or less real time, it never feels forced, when the time comes for the final confrontation with the hit man, you are almost surprised that that much time has gone by. Alternately funny and suspenseful, the film shows what can be done with a small budget (approx $1 million), and shows it well. Good performances from Jay Baruchel, Randy Quaid, and Jayne Eastwood make this a very entertaining film to watch.
7/10
