HOURS [2013]

Paul Walker carries about 90% of writer/director Eric Heisserer's dramatic thriller Hours completely on his own.
...and he nearly succeeds.
Unfortunately he's dragged down by dull as doornails dialogue, a complete lack of tension or suspense and a flatlining plotline that ignores it's potential of an interesting premise and setting.  Walker might deliver his performance with the wooden finesse of a blond Keanu Reeves but there's a certain amount of likeability about him that I can't quite pinpoint so that's about all this film really had going for it.  Beyond that, this film felt like it went on for hours and hours and hours....
