Featured review
Short Time is a 90 mins fun rollercoaster with Dabney Coleman at the center. It's extremely amusing and humorous and very well acted film that will only give you laughs.
Coleman is a cop who will be retiring in a week and does not want to take any risks so as to avoid any unfortunate event in his final days in workforce. But after getting diagnosed with an incurable disease his approach towards this short time on job completely changes as dying during the line of work will get him insurance that will secure his families future. But instead of dying, his valiant effort in field makes him the most reckless man on the police force, volunteering for dangerous assignments over the objections of his by-the-book partner.
Coleman's character Burt Simpson is way too hilarious and will make you jump off you seats. Burt's chemistry with his partner Ernie is awesome making their assignments in the movie a great watch.
