24 HOURS TO LIVE

Cert 15

Digital today, disc Monday This desperately silly redemption thriller sees Ethan Hawke star as a hallucinating hitman with a conscience.

He’s offered a million dollars a day to kill “a whistle-blowing dogooder”, but when the mission turns deadly, a special serum allows him 24 hours to live and finish the job.

Handily, a digital clock is implanted in his wrist so he can watch his life wind down along with our interest.

There’s an impressive sweep from China to Africa and the US but even Rutger Hauer’s appearance as a philosophising beach bum can’t raise the script and leaden direction.
