“10 Minutes Gone” (*** out of four) was a searing action melodrama about an underworld mobster (Michael Chiklis) trying to go straight but whose memory has been lost and cannot piece together the 10 minutes of a bank heist gone wrong and has to reconnect his memory and his conscience to find out if he was double-crossed by the ruthless CEO (Bruce Wilis) in charge or others so he can save his- and others’- lives. Tense story never takes a breath and is anchored and gripped by Chiklis who has never been more commanding or charismatic before in a lead role. A small-handed winner all around.
