Review of 14 Hours

14 Hours (2005 TV Movie)
10/10
VERY EXCITING FICTIONALIZATION OF A TRUE STORY
15 September 2023
Okay, first let's review for those of you who are clueless about TV movies, there is a difference between a movie and a documentary. This is not a documentary. It uses archetypes as characters. It uses locations which may not look like the real locations, possibly because the real locations do not wish to have filming done there. It is true to the central fact of an important event, i.e., in this case, the total evacuation of patients from an important real major medical center. But it fictionalizes people, conversations, and timelines. Got that, all you people who rated this movie with a 1 or 2? Having said they, I offer the opinion that the script was a perfectly adequate journeyman script for a TV movie (to my knowledge, no major studio put up big bucks to memorialize this rather exciting event, so thank you TNT for taking it on), and the three major parts were filled by good actors who performed their jobs well. The film probably does not deserve a 10, but I am steamed enough at the reviews to rate it well. I found it quite exciting. If you don't like TV movies, stop watching and reviewing them.
