About This Movie

116 Seconds is a gritty piece that dives deep into the disturbing reality of sexual violence. The pacing is relentless; every scene feels urgent, mirroring the ticking clock that haunts our protagonist, Benito. He’s an FBI agent, yet he’s also a man grappling with his own demons, which adds a heavy layer to his character. The practical effects used in some of the more intense moments are striking, enhancing the film's raw atmosphere. It doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of the narrative, and the performances—though not from recognized actors—carry a weight that feels real. It’s a tough watch, but there’s something about its unflinching depiction of trauma that makes it stand out in the action-drama genre.
