Jody (Lauren Young) is the sole breadwinner of her family. She works for a large pharmaceutical company that’s just been accused of illegal human testing. Jody has been tasked with putting a major press conference where the company will deny these claims. Stressed out, she decides to blow off some steam by finally meeting up with a guy she’s been chatting with online. She and Dom (Richard Gutierrez) hit it off, and decide to spend the night together at a hotel. Jody wakes up drugged, however, with a bomb strapped to her torso. Dom tells Jody to set off the bomb at the press conference, or harm will come to her family.

Ehirerapp Waste of time
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Wincy Aquino Ong There are a lot of things going for Overtime — Wincy Aquino Ong's 'big pharma is bad'-commentary slapstick-actioner — although a lot of things also aren't.Firstly, it is genre-bending; rarely is it that we see an awkward tech-whiz (whom we meet no earlier than halfway through the film) not only get to emerge as hero, but also get the Final Girl. Bearwin Meily — who ably portrays the role of the unlikely hero (and apparently avid Greenhills shopper) — is a pivotal element to the eccentric conceits of the film. But to weigh in crank in the film is a moot task, given Ong's previous effort San Lazaro, a film about fanaticism and the occult, can only handle so much cray from the respective roles of Bianca King and Ramon Bautista.With this, we are left with a social commentary that does not engross beyond its extremest potential and principal characters that are essentially underwritten cut-outs: from a dumbed-down graveyard-shift worker (Lauren Young) to a handsome neurotic (Richard Gutierrez, turning in a performance reminiscent to Aga Muhlach in Rory B. Quintos' Sa Aking Mga Kamay).Ultimately, it is Ong's pursuit to bring mainstream leagues something fresh that elevates his film; and what he has arrived here with — at best — is a fine, admission-worthy consumable pulp.
