Amazon.co.uk Review

Fifteen Minutes partners Robert De Niro and Saving Private Ryan's Edward Burns in a thriller satire on America's "reality TV" industry. De Niro plays celebrity detective Eddie Fleming, who must reluctantly work with arson investigator Jordy Warsaw (Burns) when a grisly fire is discovered to conceal a murder. This is the work of Emil (Karel Roden) and Oleg (Oleg Taktarov), East European psychos bent on a maniacal spree of killings. All of these are videotaped by Emil, who renames himself after his hero Frank Capra, in a perverse tribute to the US of A, where "no one is responsible for what they do!". Soon the duo decide to sell their footage to Kelsey Grammer's creepily shameless frontline TV journalist. As a pair of loons whose scariness is just the right side of cardboard villainy, Roden and Taktarov steal the movie as well as their camcorder. However, the central theme of voyeurism and video murder was dealt with far more effectively in the 1992 Belgian movie Man Bites Dog and, while the action tears along in explosive fashion, it does so at the expense of both plausibility and the anti-media satire, which seems hitched crudely onto the bumper of what is essentially a satisfying but conventional blockbuster thriller. --David Stubbs

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great..., 16 Sep 2001
Interesting film, but rather disappointing and sometimes lacked meaning and excitement although the storyline is generally good and nothing like I expected - prepare to be surprised! In all, a good film but by no means Robert De Niro's best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way too unsubtle one-message film, 10 Oct 2001
By Stephanie Smith "stephsmith4" (Hants, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The 15 minutes of the title are about as long as the film will keep you interested. Robert de Niro is always good but the portrayal of crazed Eastern Europeans is unlikely to win this movie any fans in the Czech Republic. Ultimately the character development is sacrificed to get the message of the movie across - how the media is manipulated by evil serial killers who escape justice by pretending to be insane - which is a pity and rather insulting to the intelligence of the viewer.
