Hours

Actors:  Paul Walker, Genesis Rodriguez
Rating:  6 out of 10, This is virtually a one man show and at the risk of criticizing the dearly departed, thespian skills were Paul Walker’s strongest suit.  He plays a new father struggling alone to save his newborn baby in an abandoned New Orleans hospital during Hurricane Katrina and aftermath.  There just wasn’t enough meat hanging on the bones of the script.  The plot device of being anchored to his kid’s lifesaving apparatus which needed recharging every two minutes opened some gaping plot holes.  Walker’s forte was action and he shouldn’t have wandered away from that.  The dog was pretty cool though.

MVP:  Walker as the only guy really in this movie
