It was fun to watch this movie because of those nice fighting scenes. But there were a lot of problems with plot and continuity.

First, it was a stupid idea to talk on the phone just before a cage fight. Pros don't do that.

Second, presenting the woman as a big problem is the point i will not get.

Third, how is it possible that usual mafia guys can take so mich damage and can still involve in fights again and again?

Fourth and the worst, by the way i did not see this in the reviews, day and night problem. So as we see in the movie, Berlin can jump from afternoon sun to midnight darkness in sixty minutes? And it's frim 17.00 to 18.00?

And finally, who the heck is that lawyer?

I get it that the action movies aren't known for their story or logic, yet I recently caught this flick on Netflix, and I believe this one takes the recent lead as the stupidest action movie of recent times.

For example the plot revolves around semi poor MMA fighter\gym owner who suppose to do a fight which will bring him a lot of money, yet decides to quit to get to his daughter birthday because his ex decided she'd sue him for sole custody because he's no show. The whole movie happens during 60 minutes period of time.

He decides to run away (literally by foot), though eventually he loses everything and on the way fights his opponent anyway.

Aside from numerous plot problems that are ridiculous at best, the thing that caught my eye was the main lead's earbuds. There is literally zero chance they'd stay inside his ears entire time through his fighting sequences. It's a small detail, but it's been a problem for me for a long time.

The fighting scenes are decent and that's the only reason I gave this movie 5/10.

Considering everything, I guess this movie can work if you're under the influence and are looking for some mindless action flick.

"I can't right now, I've got a fight". Yeah you do, with the opposing fighter and every other ruffian looking to come to blows. Somebody give this dude a time out. Stat!

Anyway, Sixty Minutes is an action movie in every sense of the word. I mean every character in it knows how to brawl, as if Chuck Norris arrived on set as some AARP advisor. "Minutes" is also a race-against-time flick, as shown in its simplistic title. You put the two genres together and you've got some rock 'em, sock 'em thriller that doesn't always concur with the timelines, but never leaves you unoccupied or veritably out in the wind.

So yeah, Sixty Minutes was shot and takes place in Berlin, Germany yet no one speaks a lick of German or has any type of German accent. Incongruous but um, I'll let it slide. I mean few films have the urgency and/or bone-crushing voyeurism of "Minutes", a non-stop rinse, repeat of loud fistfights then payoff, then loud fistfights then payoff. Yeesh! Just imagine if directors Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie teamed up with martial arts guru Scott Adkins. In other words, what if 2017's Good Time and 2018's Accident Man had a cinematic tyke. That's what you'd get with Sixty Minutes. "This is bigger than you think". Indeed.

Edited lightning-quick, with a fierce techno soundtrack and personas with nasty dispositions, Sixty Minutes is about an MMA fighter (Emilio Sakraya as Octavio Bergmann) who throws a fight in order to be with his daughter on her birthday. Here's the rub: he's got 1 hour to get to said daughter or he'll lose sole custody of her (ouch, pun intended). Meanwhile mobsters who bet on his rumpus, are out to get him at every turn. It's like James Bond gadget-free but without the notion of death involved.

Bottom line: Sixty Minutes is one of those films where the main persona is put in a nonviable situation with little hope in sight. Howbeit, every little plot element of incessant furor seems to work out in the end, for better or worse. "Minute made".

This movie was ridiculous. But i of course watched it for the eye candy that is Emilio Sakraya. Be warned however that the plot of this movie is completely absurd!

The movie centers around a young man who has 60 minutes to get to his daughter's birthday party or he loses custody of her. The problem is ...he also has a fight event.

Due to his dilemma he bails on his match and it almost seems counter productive for him not to go through with it??? When he actually could have just done and gotten his actual match over with and plenty of time to spare to take a relaxing uber ride to his daughter's birthday??? Also what kinda asshole tells her kid's father that he is gonna lose custody of his only child that he clearly loves and who loves him back within an hour? Ok fine.

But alas...there would be no movie if things actually made sense. Youre gonna have to suspend your disbelief while watching this.

Anyways, he ends up destroying everyone and everything in his path in a quick and efficient way (once again proving if he hadnt bailed on the fight he couldve had his opponent on the ground within minutes with plenty of time to spare and take a shower, change clothes, do a photo op, save his gym and not lose custody of his daughter.) But okay.

The point of this movie is really and clearly the martial arts, the fights scenes were great and entertaining honestly...so for that im giving it a passable rating, clearly the lead character put in a lot of work into it and it shows!

This film has amazing fight sequences and its nice to see a film where the focus is on MMA used for street fighting and its starring someone who actually looks the role of a super fit and fierce fighter. I think near the beginning is when I realized this film is gonna be crazy action when I seen the main guy do a crazy flawless Spinning 540 roundhouse kick and I was like whoaaa this guy is legit, he aint no actor playing a martial arts guy.. hes a Martial Artist being an actor lol.

The Plot seems legit but its so lacking in details and I mean I guess their doesn't need to be much deeper explanations into the bad guys but it would have been nice to make it a more complete film. Overall I think they just wanted to create a truly original and creative master piece of Action packed and they did a stellar job in that department. Hands down one of the best martial arts movies in the last 2 years... I mean John Wick 4 with Donnie Yen had amazing action sequences but its filtered throughout the film into segmented parts, while this film here is literally a fight every minut after the first 15?

1 thing i disliked was the title and the film trying to play it off like its 60 minutes.. literally u see the day is sunlight and suddenly its pitched dark lmao, I think someone forgot how time works lol. Following the sunlight cycle I would assume 3-6 hours passed lmao instead of 1. Anyway if u want to see nonstop action then watch this film cuz its off the charts with action, but again dont watch expecting a great plot lol... cuz its very lacking... so my 8 rating is totally only for the crazy action or else I would have rated a 6.
