Ticking Clock

When a decorated police detective is framed for murder, he has only 24 hours to find the real killer before his time runs out. With the help of his loyal partner, he must race against the clock, navigating a dangerous web of conspiracy and corruption to clear his name and bring the true culprits to justice.

Ticking Clock was a direct-to-video release and generally received mixed to negative reviews, primarily focusing on its formulaic plot and predictable action sequences. Critics often pointed to Steven Seagal's signature, less physically demanding performance style, which had become a hallmark of his later career.
