“72 Hours” is more or less run of the mill. FBI good. Criminals almost all bad. The glory of a unified family. Suggested sexuality geared toward prime-time television. If you appreciate this type of film good on you mate and enjoy. If you are searching for something novel or intellectually challenging best forget this film.
There is an interesting twist. Sebastian James (Sam Trammel) is an FBI agent. His brother Alex James (Cam Gigandet) facilitates transfers of crypto currency into arms. So on the bad scale he is not off the meter as he is a Tekkie and doesn’t go around blasting the good guys. Sebastian catches Alex during a crypto transaction letting him flee. Later they punch each up heartily and then family resentment amongst brothers springs up.
The bad guy’s suspect Alex is not to be trusted and he has an incriminating hard drive to boot. The bad guy’s kidnap Alex’s 16-year-old daughter, Christina, holding her ransom for the hard drive. No hard drive in 72 hours a real nasty man (with abs of steel) Ty Revello (Pierson Fodé) high up in crypto ring promises to slice up Christina in front of Alex’s eyes.
In a “Dirty Dozen” mode Alex and Sebastian working in tandem recruit former bad guys into the good guy team and it is bang bang bang and predictably good prevails.
Directed by Christian Sesma.
