[EliSnow]

<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">With regard to flashbacks, I don't think they should count unless they are a primary way the story is told (i.e. most of the film is flashbacks).&nbsp; For example, if the movie is a biography with the protagonist doing something big, and then shows him remembering an earlier event, and the whole movie proceeds that way, then I think it fails the 24 hour test.</font></p>

While the entire movie does not fit into a single 24-hour period, the bulk of Crimson Tide takes place in real time - the hour or so between the arrival of the fragmented message and the time that the Russian missiles are ready to launch.ÿ ÿAwesome flick.<br /> <span class="post_edited"></span> <span class="post_edited"></span>
