Short Time
As a result of a misdiagnosis, Detective Burt Simpson is told he has just weeks to live. He gains a new respect for his life and loved ones but learns that in order for his wife, Carolyn, and son, Dougie, to collect any insurance money, he must be killed in the line of duty. He then becomes the most reckless man on the police force, volunteering for dangerous assignments over the objections of his by-the-book partner.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Short Time' is a crime/action comedy focused on a man trying to die in the line of duty for his family's insurance payout after a misdiagnosis. There is no indication that the plot, themes, or setting relate to the Christmas season in any meaningful way."
