Review of 90 Minutes in Heaven (2015) by Kevin R — 13 Oct 2018

My god, this movie was HORRIBLE and SO BORING. I don't even know where to begin. So in this movie, there is a southern pastor named Don Piper. He lives with his lovely wife, Eva Piper, and with his children. So after the Piper family eat breakfast, Don drives to work and he suddenly gets into a car accident, gets injured, becomes unconscious, almost appears to be dead, and gets rescued by the ambulance. He is taken to the hospital by the ambulance. He was facing a near death experience. His wife shows up at the hospital feeling all worried about him. I honestly couldn't buy Kate Bosworth's performance. She didn't look so worried. She was clearly phoning it in. Her performance was phoned in and pretty unconvincing. Kate Bosworth did not have a convincing worried facial expression in the hospital scene. Her acting was bad. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one who gave a bad acting performance in this movie... Hayden Christensen gave a bad performance too. His line deliveries were hard to take seriously because of his terrible southern accent. His attempt at a southern American accent was cringe-worthy. His accent sounded too phony and unconvincing. His accent was totally phoned in. He was unconvincing in his role too. Hayden Christensen was miscast as Don Piper. His mustache even looked fake too. His career took a really bad turn since the Star Wars prequels. The movie's pacing was horrible. It was so horribly slow-paced. The title is "90 Minutes in Heaven" but we never got to see the main character in Heaven for 90 minutes, nor in Heaven period. He just claims to have been in Heaven for 90 minutes during his near death experience after the accident he's been in. So he was supposedly dreaming about being in Heaven or was actually in Heaven for 90 minutes off-screen. The storyline and premise are good, but the execution is horrible. I know this a true story based film, but it's done horribly. It should've turned out much better. The movie was so dull, boring, and slow that it put me to sleep in the middle of it and I didn't even get finish watching the entire film.

Rating: 1.3/10.
