One of the last films from the late actor Paul Walker, Hours shows us a more grounded side of the actor. Far removed from the action of Fast and the Furious or Brick Mansions, Hours is about a father trying desperately to keep his newborn baby alive as Hurricane Katrina ravages New Orleans. His wife has died in childbirth, the hospital is evacuated and the only thing standing between life and death is an ancient generator (that must be charged in 3 minutes - even less time as the film goes on) and staying awake. Add in IV bags, looters and memory - well, things get pretty intense. The flashbacks are a bit awkward, but otherwise and excellent film that showcases a different side of the action star.
