Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

rzajac Tarantino put it best: Write a good script, and you can afford to damn the torpedoes. 11:14 does exactly that.There's too much to say about it. Production is warm, cozy, perfectly fine. All actors took direction very, very well.But it all rests on the script; a treasure chest of delights, from organization and character, to superbly modulated language register, to a surprising denouement, which (mild spoiler; which you may welcome, as it could aid yr delectation) extremely cleverly sets forth an almost clinically even-steven character mix and then catapults one character into the fore by story's end.Left all warm and fuzzy when I regard the notable star power that (a la Pulp Fiction) likely forewent their usual rates to help breathe life into such a worthy script.Definitely check it out. American film needs more like this.

shadows_million 11:14 is one of those movies that make think after watching it. The film is like pulp fiction in were the story is all mixed around and you see the events that unfold from different perspectives.Every one does a great job in the movie. Patrick Swayze does a great job as a caring father in one probably is last great performance before he died. Colin Hanks, Ben foster and Stark Sands do great as three drunk young ne'er- do-wells. Hilary Swank plays a very convincing dumb store clerk in a bad situation. Finally Rachael Leigh Cook plays a young woman who plays three clueless guys ( Henry Thomas,Blake Heron and Shawn Hatosy). The real star of the movie is the writhing and the directing done by Greg Marcks. A one hit wonder of job is done by Greg. The dialog is fast and funny and the scenes are all greatly shoot in the city night. The only problem I found with the movie was a few sound problems ,but their minor nit picks. All in all 11:14 is a very interesting movie and if you like intertwining stories like Pulp Fiction, Magnolia and Crash, This is the pick for you.

Leofwine_draca I loved this low budget thriller, which plays around with narrative in much the same way as PULP FICTION and to just as good effect – albeit on a much smaller budget. The story is told from five different points of view of characters who converge together in a small town on one fateful night. It's a darkly humorous film with plenty of odd, did-I-just-see-that incidents going on, and the writing is so intricate, so fresh and intriguing that I don't think anyone could dislike it.Thinking back over this film now, I can't help but chuckle at many of the sequences. The best, by far, involves Patrick Swayze as a dedicated dad attempting to 'clean up' after his daughter. Just the thought of him chasing after that darn dog through the storm drain…great stuff indeed. Elsewhere, we get a hilarious and unusual turn from Hilary Swank as a dim-witted convenience store employee who somehow becomes embroiled in…well, I won't say it, but it had me in stitches. Henry Thomas puts his E.T. days far behind him as a drunk driver, Colin Hanks displays some of the convincing talent that made his dad a star, and Ben Foster has one of those outlandish/OTT roles (like the one in HOSTAGE) before he hit the big time.I'm guessing this is a 'love it or hate it' type of film. Some, like me, will be drawn into the bizarre and intense situations. Others will dismiss this as an overly-complex, small scale drama featuring people who are on screen for too short a time to really like or care about. But I thought it was great, it's a film that really 'spoke' to me and one of those I could watch over and over again.

dunmore_ego An ingenious tripwire thriller, where a series of unrelated events all come together in the wrong place at the wrong time - 11:14 pm.Writer-director Greg Marcks crafts 11:14 like a master weaver of spells, throwing us into compelling vignettes already in progress, in the grand tradition of Tarantino. That being said, 11:14 is reminiscent of Nolan's MEMENTO, where we see the time stream reversed after every vignette to show us different perspectives of one crazy night in a small American town. The driving narrative gives us no pause to consider exactly how each of five tales jigsaws into its adjacent tale; we just know we're running down an antelope with an indie tracksuit on.Five groups of people, five bad decisions, five tales of woe, five tales of deceit, chronology bent out of shape, until all the time streams converge with explosive consequences. Doc Emmett Brown warned us what would happen if time streams collided.Henry Thomas drives down a deserted stretch of highway at night. As he drives under an overpass - a body falls onto his car. It is 11:14 pm. He has been drinking, he has no license and now there's a dead body by the side of the road with him. A lady driving by thinks he has hit a deer, calls the cops "to help" and drives off. See what happens after he stuffs the body in his trunk and a cop arrives...Colin Hanks leads a trio of hooligans (wasn't that what young, rowdy boys were called back in the '70s before wiggas and gangstas?), tearing up suburbia in his tiny minivan. (One of my friends owned a van exactly like this when we were - ahem - hooligans. He affectionately called it the "rice bubble.") His van clock reads 11:09. They're doing nothing outlandishly evil, just drinking and driving, punching each other, throwing a burning book out the window, pissing out the window and generally not paying attention to the road - until they slam into a girl. 11:14. They hit the brakes as the girl is thrown forward in a crumpled heap, dead. A young man runs to the girl's body, tragically bends over it, then resolutely pulls out a gun and starts firing on the rice bubble as it screeches off. See what happens when the guy who was pissing out the window (Ben Foster) realizes his penis was chopped off by the rice bubble's slamming window at the accident site...Patrick Swayze (who loves his daughter but hates her boyfriend) takes his dog out for a walk at 11:04 - and finds Boyfriend dead in a graveyard, with Daughter's keys near the body. See what happens at 11:14 when he tries to dispose of the body to protect his daughter...At 10:58, Shawn Hatosy petitions his mini-mart co-worker (Hilary Swank) to help him rob the joint, to pay for his girlfriend's abortion. See what happens when Swank insists he has to shoot her to make the robbery look legit...Rachel Leigh Cook is a teen trollop who is conning many teen beaus into thinking she is pregnant with their child and needs cash for an abortion. She has spun a web of duplicity with almost all the males in this twisted tale. See what happens when her car doesn't start at 11:14...Take it for granted this ensemble cast create disturbing, memorable performances, the beauty of the movie is that each of the five groups keeps crossing paths in the tiniest ways that would be negligible and ineffectual were it not for the interesting way we know they are intertwined. Watch for Barbara Hershey and Jason Segel in almost unrecognizable cameos.Oh and - don't be late.
