What is the plot of 'Sixty Minutes'?
MMA fighter Octavio Bergmann's marriage has fallen apart and there is a very good chance he may also lose custody of his daughter. But if he can show up at her birthday party and prove he's a good father, he may still be able to salvage a relationship with her. There is one problem though: He's got a big bout scheduled on the same day as her birthday party. So Octavio does what every good father would and skips the fight, but there are shadowy groups who have quite a lot of money riding on it, and they're not pleased he's done a runner.
'Sixty Minutes' Main Cast
Emilio Sakraya
Emilio put the 'Mixed' in MMA: He's a skilled practitioner of karate, kung fu, and an avid parkour enthusiast. He's even won the German 'full contact' karate championship, not once, but twice! Like Van Damme, Bruce Lee, et al before him, a career in the entertainment industry beckoned for a man naturally gifted with the ability to run, jump and deliver a roundhouse like he means it. His breakthrough role came in 2017's '4 Blocks', but it was his role as JC in the cult hit 'Warrior Nun' that made him a global face. He followed up 'Warrior Nun' with a role in the critically-acclaimed 'Tribes of Europa'. Oh and he also sings, phew.
Dennis Mojen
Dennis has been a familiar face in the German entertainment industry for a while now. After making his debut in the TV series 'The Peppercons' in 2009, he starred in a slate of TV movies before landing the role of Tobias in 'Morgen hör ich auf'. His role as Cpt. Markus Müller in Netflix's underrated series 'Into the Night' got him global recognition (it was a role he reprised in 'Yakamoz S-245'). Fans can catch him next in the upcoming Netflix movie 'Spieleabend'
Marie Mouroum
You can't be faulted for not knowing who Marie is, but be sure that every actor in Hollywood who does roles with a lot of stunts in them does. In fact, if you're a fan of the TV series 'The Equalizer' you will probably know her as Queen Latifah's stunt double. Marie has also done stunt work in (wait for it...) 'Black Panther', 'Avengers: Infinity War & Endgame', 'The Matrix Resurrections' and 'John Wick: Chapter 4' to name just a few. She is yout go-to girl when it comes to kicking ass and taking names. She made her film debut in 2012's 'Cloud Atlas' and has also appeared in TV series like 'Warrior Nun', and 'Into the Badlands'. You can catch her knocking heads and crashing cars in the upcoming TV series 'Mr & Mrs Smith' and 'Fallout'.
Is 'Sixty Minutes' worth watching?
Fans of rip-roaring action sequences and bone-crunching fight scenes are going to love this one. And while the get-to-your-daughter's-birthday-party plot seems a bit trite, it's unlikely many will be watching this film for the complexity of its storyline. Plus it clocks in just under 90 minutes, so why not!
