It's surely worth a watch. Not exactly the greatest bit of cinema but believe they really accomplished what they set out to make.

Not bad and rather fun
12 Hour Shift: I didn't believe the hype, I shouldn't have
Plot
Over the course of one 12-hour shift at an Arkansas hospital in 1999, a junkie nurse (Angela Bettis), her scheming cousin (Chloe Farnworth), and a group of black-market organ-trading criminals (Mick Foley, David Arquette, Dusty Warren) start a heist that could lead to their imminent demises.
Cast
Consistently demure Angela Bettis teams with David Arquette, while we get a small role from wrestling legend Mick Foley.
Verdict
12 Hour Shift was a recommendation, truth be told it would be way down the line when I would have watched this otherwise if at all.
A thriller rather than a horror it's a rather tame little number that stays within the lines and at no point becomes even remotely adventurous.
Bettis plays quite a different character than usual and I wasn't keen on that, nor was I keen on her character at all. In fact that's one of the biggest problems with the film, who am I supposed to be rooting for here? Not a decent person among them.
It plods along like if Lifetime made horror movies and managed to keep my attention just enough but not enough to make it memorable or to truly say I enjoyed it.
Very distinctly average stuff, not good, not bad, just 86 minutes of meh.
Rants
Is it wrong that I wanted to see more Foley in this? Truth be told his presence wasn't really needed after his scene but it was just nice to see him in this film despite very much playing a character it's hard to believe if you're familiar with the guy in real life. I'd welcome a sequel if only to have him as the antagonist. More Mick Foley is always going to be a good thing.
Breakdown
+ Chloe Farnworth was great here
+ David Arquette was believable in his role
- David Arquette's character had little impact
- Very mediocre overall
- Not enough Foley!
David Arquette is the killer shackled down in bed! Who wouldn't like that?
Mandy's depressed mood all throughout the movie was very convincing. Regina the sleazy transporter played the dum sociopath blonde very well withh all the character's clichés and her 90s look is awesome. No one cared about the hypochondirac guy and he took all the organs from the freezer. The moody black nurse, the fidgety scared, the elderly woman patient with dementia and the guy fom the organ mafia whose eye was poked by mandy all the characters was fun to watch. Ann above all, seeing David Arquette felt good even as a lunatic cop killer. Oh and that soda Spurty!
