Plot: Lewis Hicks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a reporter and journalist specializing in writing about the crime of murder. Instead of writing his next story, Lewis becomes the story when his new girlfriend is sadistically murdered, and he is the only suspect. Lewis investigates the murder himself and finds the killer's journal with his past victims and a death list of his future prey. Lewis believes that he is the only person who can stop the killer before time runs out for his next victim.
Starts off slow and nothing excited, the movie pretty much drags on and the with some gory scenes here and there with some terrible acting. What the hell was Cuba Gooding Jr. thinking about when he said yes to this movie? Looks more like a low budget movie made by someone just starting in the movie industry.
There's a lot of cat and mouse chasing scenes in Ticking Clock from both Lewis Hicks with the killer and the cop with Lewis Hicks, he gets accused of doing all these murders because he stumbles unto the killers scrapbook and figures out his going to kill again and knows when. Every time he goes to save the person the killer is going to kill the killer ends up disappearing and leaving him left behind to hold the bag so to say.
Basically the whole movie is about Lewis Hicks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) trying to stop the killer but at the same time clear his own name. A story that is told way to often and here the story and acting where both terrible and its sad because you could see the movie has potential but no where near with that kind of script.
Overall I would say to skip this movie in its entirety and just watch something else as you will feel like its a waste of time.
Rate: 3/10
