Action UPS The Desperate Hour Review: Karen Fantasy Thriller Exploits Real-World Tragedies
Clumsy, tasteless and deeply stupid, The Desperate Hour crosses the line between social commentary and exploitation, using a school shooting — something that happens far too frequently in America — as a cheap tactic to create stakes. Naomi Watts stars as Amy Carr, a character audiences are clearly meant to see as an empathetic «super mom,» one whose dedication to protecting her son is admirable and compelling. Unfortunately, director Phillip Noyce and screenwriter Chris Sparling fail to write a believable story. As a result, Amy comes across less like a loving mother caught in a horrible situation and more like a thoroughly entitled and self-centered «Karen.» Ultimately, The Desperate Hour is a thriller devoid of thrills that leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.
