Hello I am Oleg from Mother Russia. No confuse please for dirty crazy man Oleg Razgul in 15 Minutes American movie. I am no crazy. I am fan for movie. No no I am not supreme Russian performer Oleg Taktarov as well but its okay to confuse me with him. Hahahahahahaha I make joke. Oleg Taktarov great man very sexy like hairy Siberian bear. Not like baby face Edward Burns look like young shaved boy. Edward must make women in America throw up meal in aisles of film theater. I sorry for Edward and he ugly face so no woman make love for him. Oleg make love to many woman many time. I love Vera Farmiga. Vera make Oleg very happy. Im not good at make English word for describe Vera so I hold while use Russian translator to make English. God Vera Farmiga looks just like absolutely gorgeous in 15 minutes honestly what the heck she's a really good actress man I love her this must have been the first movie I seen her too but I would definitely fall for Vera just like Burns' character did. Russian translator reign supreme over crappy American translator. Beautiful Robert De Niro best man at make believe. Thank you for my comrades liking review. This is Oleg to say go see 15 Minutes American movie. It is a very very very nice but crazy killer Emil very sad. Karel Roden is very good and almost steals show. In theaters now!

15 Minutes (2001): Dir: John Herzfeld / Cast: Robert De Niro, Edward Burns, Kelsey Grammar, Vera Farmiga, Karel Roden: Thriller where two psychotic killers commit murders via camcorder as if it was their 15 minutes of fame. They believe that the media will support them in their plea of insanity. Robert De Niro plays a celebrity cop who arrives upon crime sites with cameras trailing him. Edward Burns plays a rookie cop who believes that a woman on the scene is connected. Kelsey Grammar plays a talk show host hoping to make a name for himself filming De Niro's investigations. Great concept is well directed by John Herzfeld who plays this like a reality TV segment. De Niro does well as the celebrity cop investigating the crime. He is set to propose to his girlfriend before tragedy strikes. He is involved in a nonsense scene where he fights two guys while taped to a chair. Burns steals the film as the rookie cop pushed to the limits when someone close to him is murdered for entertainment. When made a concluding offer he answers with swift aggression. Grammar as the media host is a corrupt sort who learns rather bluntly that Burns cannot be bought. Vera Farmiga plays a witness whom the killers track down through escort services. Karel Roden and Oleg Taktarov are well cast as the criminals and they steal the film with their media frenzy and 15 minutes. Score: 9 / 10

I just watched this movie lately and was pretty impressed. Robert De Niro plays the role of a detective and his acting like always was strong. He is one of the best actors and he surely proves it by doing a very fine job in this one. Edward Burns playing a Fire Marshall shows good acting skills. It is a unique movie quite different, good action,shows the relation between crime and media,the villains put up a good show,sharp,thought provoking, some would say a bit predictable but 15 min is a full package of action,drama,thriller,fun and what else do you want? TRUST ME A MUST WATCH THE CAST AND TAGLINE SAYS IT ALL! So go for it you'll surely have a good time. :)

This movie starts out interestingly enough, but right from the start it suffers from Identity crisis. Who's the main character? Bad guys, good guys? Firemen? Police? It has split your attention 3 ways and it's not easy to enjoy from that mistake. Also, the film is supposed to be funny sometimes, and you think Deniro has a new sidekick. Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it a cop movie? Or a news movie? Then before you know it, the character they spent the whole movie teaching you about:with details about his love life, his crime scene investigation, his history with the media, is dead. Not a good way to go 3/4 of a way through. If Titanic had detailed the lives of 5 characters on board the ship, killed of Jack before the boat went down, made the ice berg a character, and gone in so many directions it would have been a flop too. The producers new they had a flop on their hands, and they tried to fix it by releasing it late. Woops....did not work.
