Johnny Cash walks in with a guitar case and a killer’s stare, turning a quiet suburban house into a pressure cooker of sweat, fear, and cheap daylight menace. Five Minutes To Live is mean little crime pulp: bank-job nerves on one side, home-invasion terror on the other, all cut with rockabilly venom and blacktop cruelty. No polish, no comfort, just Cash grinning like a loaded gun while the clock chews through everyone’s throat. A nasty nickel-plated hostage nightmare.
