 15 Minutes Movie Review on AudioRevolution.com
The film "15 Minutes" illustrates the downside of this concept in a vigorous, sly fl comedy/actioner that makes some good satirical points while boasting at least two bravura action sequences.
Although some of this turf has been covered before – "Natural Born Killers" springs to mind – "15 Minutes" is more conventionally accessible than previous versions, with the spotlight on the solid protagonists played by De Niro and Burns.
This also means that "15 Minutes" gets a bit didactic and self-congratulatory at times, but it also packs an enormous wallop in places.

 JoBlo reviews the movie "15 Minutes"
While the film portrayed what deranged lunatics as well as regular Joes will do for their fifteen minutes of fame, I took the film's message in a different light: look at the bastards who decide who gets the fifteen minutes and in what light.
This movie is about the moral-less journalism in America, it's about people who are ready to do ANYTHING for their 15 minutes, it's about people who think it's entertainment and it's about the justice system.
All I'm saying is, I can usually forgive most movies for having inaccuracies in the plot because that spoils the fun of it and if 15 Minutes is attempting to be a parody of the real world, I sure didn't get it.

 3BlackChicks Review...15 MINUTES (Bams)
Emil's near-insane temper and Oleg's humorous, blind madness, cut right to the "15 minutes of fame" issue in a way that all the intended moralizing by writer/director John Herzfeld about the Robert Hawkinses of this world, never touched.
But as with Finding Forrester before it, the score in "15" was used quite effectively, wonderfully accentuating many a scene (the techie girl in me hurrahed the musical emphasis when De Niro and company went a'chasing the bad guys), and generally adding quite a bit of spice to this flick.
As my pal Melik said, 15 Minutes rocked; at times, it was thought-provoking, and disturbing, and the musical score was brilliantly executed (this will be a good DVD/surround sound flick to pick up).
