    Do not try and find meaning in this totally bananas film ....
    Because there is none. "Seven Hours to Judgement" is a completely off the rails nightmare, and if you had dreamed this, you definitely would have awakened in a sweat. Beau Bridges is constantly running away from a nice assortment of seedy characters, as he to obtain evidence that could save his kidnapped wife. The kidnapper is a totally unhinged Ron Leibman. The movie moves so quickly, you might be tempted to overlook the disbelief factor, but I doubt you will. There are so many lapses in logic that they completely swamp any sense of reality or meaning . Nevertheless, any Ron Leibman performance is worth seeing, and this is certainly Ron Leibman's most bizarre character of all time. The film would best be described as a blend of "After Hours", and "Frauds", and is entertaining enough as long as you cast logic down the drain. - MERK
