Naomi Watts should have won an Oscar for this performance! What I liked about this movie was it was done (almost) in real-time. The movie lasts 84 minutes, not 60.
The Desperate Hour is a “riveting and pulse-pounding” thriller from award winning director Phillip Noyce. Recently widowed mother Amy Carr (Naomi Watts) is doing her best to restore normalcy to the lives of her young daughter and teenage son in their small town. As she's on a jog in the woods, she finds her town thrown into chaos as a shooting takes place at her son's school. Miles away, and on a bum foot in the dense forest, Amy desperately races against time to save him.
