The Zero Hour (2010) - 100 min

The Zero Hour (Spanish: La hora cero) is a Venezuelan action film directed by Diego Velasco
Starring Zapata 666, Amanda Key, Erich Wildpret, Laureano Olivares, Marisa Román & Albi De Abreu.
The story takes place during a medical strike when doctors hesitated to look at the patients. This film tells the story of a Hitman, La Parca who is forced to create a hostage situation in a hospital to save his girlfriend.
This film reminds me of Denzel's John Q and Hostage situation looks like Dog Day Afternoon. Violence  is common in Caracas and during the filming, three crew members were kidnapped. Diego, the director of the film was held up at gun point and a supporting actor was assassinated. Anyway, all this issue helps the movie in a positive way and it breaks all previous Venezuelan box office records. Overall, it's a watchable movie and only recommended to those who can handle violence scenes.
Verdict: Average
