NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
LeonLouisRicci A heist movie that has some style but the disjointed editing and the unbelievable premise smear the situation so that the view is overcast and the place is overly populated. The setting is just not believable and is an imposing impediment. Some quirky characters and visual gymnastics are a treat, but there is some superficial spoiling. There probably are a few to many psyches on display here that in the final analysis it's like a diagnosis dialed back from a 1-900 psychologist. This has pieces of talent at work and some artistic flair. However, while the initial viewing is visceral enough, the complete work will eventually melt away like ice on a windshield.A good effort from a low-budget crew and a feeling of better things to come.
paul david I am overall very disappointed with this film and go along with the second comment posted on this forum - I think I must also be dense, having watched the film against my better judgement a second time to try and understand it. there is a hollowness to the film and a shabbyness to the ending which made the half hour really drag. I just didn't get it what happened when they completed their task at the Hotels and got off with the heist. These are supposedly four experts who have worked together before and who knew what to do, didn't seem like it to me, it was all rather amateurish although the concept of the theft/heist itself on New Years Ave and the inter-action with the Hotel Guests in the middle of the night created genuine intrigue admittedly. this for me is a poor mans Ocean 11/12/13 and doesn't come close. The acting is very average and you would hardly notice Val kilmer at all. Overall a bit down. As for the title, well, the film itself lent itself to a more imaginative one than to simply call it after the time when they entered the Hotel to do the Heist. If you rave about this movie, you haven't seen a good movie in ages I suggest.
ryderbillie This is really one cool movie, granted I found it a little slow at the beginning but I quickly got drawn into the characters and their lives, it's refreshing to watch a film today that isn't full of MTV quick cuts and jerky camera work. I thought the story was really well written with lots of unexpected twists & turns coupled with a few surprises that I didn't see coming.I really liked the music and the director Phillip Guzman did a great job overall. Love Val Kilmer. I totally loved the feel & texture of this movie, the cold & the snow really added to the atmosphere. Cool stuff.
elliottbing This movie has it all & then some...Adultery, action, shoot-outs, screwed up families, a suicidal old man, a kinky soap star, humor, drugs, betrayal, murder and much more...all centered around a carefully constructed heist or at least thats what we're led to believe in this noir crime thriller called 2:22. All the cast do a great job with standout performances from Mick Rossi and Robert Miano; And the wonderfully weird character of a "Fence" as played by Val Kilmer. Also (SPOILER ALERT) a surprise cameo from actor Gabriel Byrne as a "Been there, seen it" veteran detective. I loved the overall look of 2:22, the winter backdrop was very effective and it's shot beautifully. The music rocks. I want the soundtrack. I caught this movie on my last night in Cannes, it nearly made me miss my train, but I didn't care, it was so worth it.
