Hours
Before sunrise on August 29, 2005, Nolan Hayes (Walker) arrives at a New Orleans hospital with his pregnant wife, Abigail (Rodriguez), who has gone into early labor. What should be one of the happiest days of Nolan';s life quickly spirals out of control when the birth goes tragically wrong and Hurricane Katrina ravages the hospital, forcing an evacuation. Nolan and his newborn baby are soon cut off from the world by power outages and rising flood waters. With his baby completely dependent on a ventilator Nolan faces one life-and-death decision after another, fighting to keep his daughter alive, as minute by agonizing minute passes...becoming unimaginable hours.

December 14, 2013
A lean, palpably tense thriller. Paul Walker gives the best performance of his career.
December 13, 2013
As one of the last completed roles by [Paul Walker]...it feels nice to be able to luxuriate in the actor's presence. In another set of circumstances, Hours could have proved to other filmmakers what the actor was capable of
December 13, 2013
The chemistry Walker shares with Rodriguez is terrific as the two played off of each other perfectly.

Taking place over the course of two hopeless days, Walker's performance is truly special.
December 12, 2013
Hurricane Katrina has already been pretty thoroughly mined for documentaries and fictional stories, but "Hours" holds your interest nonetheless.
March 16, 2017
Hours goes from a passable, decent, (but hardly thrilling) thriller to a film that gives your eye-rolling muscles a total workout.
December 12, 2013
Most of the movie elicits tense empathy, which builds to a genuinely nerve-wracking sense of dread.
December 13, 2013
While uneven, the film is uniquely involving - right down to a final shot that will break your heart into a million pieces.
January 13, 2014
Could've marked a turning point in Paul Walker's career to more interesting and demanding projects post-age-40.
December 13, 2013
For those who wish to see [Walker] at his best, "Hours" is worth the time.
December 12, 2013
Take away the on-the-nose title and some half-hearted stabs at symbolism, and what's left is a B-thriller of the "they don't make 'em like they used to" variety.
January 23, 2014
Walker's performance - along with the film - gets more and more engrossing.
