The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

it starts off really interesting. After you see the story from the teens' perspective you feel ready to watch the story unfold from there. Except it doesn't. Instead of the story continuing, it just keeps shifting to different characters. And that was fun at times, but only because you were expecting SOMETHING to happen. Finally, when the movie ends, it leaves you feeling like you wasted your time. As there is no point to it.It doesn't stick to any character long enough for you to care about them. So you end up feeling like there's nothing worth watching in this movie, since the ending is supposed to make you feel sympathy for one of the characters. But you don't because in the viewers head that character is nothing but a secondary character. Really it's a movie full of secondary characters, and a story that doesn't go further than intro. (Which would be fine, had the characters meant something) A lot of potential in this movie just wasted. Potential in the characters, and story. Both went without development.

What we have here is an interesting independent movie. It's short ( not even 1 h 30 minutes) and mixes black comedy and thriller . The cast involves young people , but there are some stars too (Hilary Swank and Patrick Swayze) .The movie is worth watching once , when you don't know it's secrets . On repeated viewings it loses a lot of it's charm. The writer and director Greg Marcks did a good job writing an complex story involving few people that met at 11 : 14. Usually a story involving a few people who have effect on each other lives is a serious drama asking important questions about morality and fate . This movie is mostly made for fun and doesn't pretend to be deep or thought provoking.The acting is good . Music by Clint Mansell is great. Watch out for Colin Hanks (son of Tom) as one of the young guys. I give it 6/10.

After I watched this adventure for the first time, I read through a batch of IMDb reviews, and was amazed at the variation of opinions on this movie, which in itself is not a bad thing; few films can please everyone. I call this film an "adventure" because it moves, every second, every minute, and if you give yourself to it, you're along for a major cinematic rush, a ride that starts when a drunken driver hits a body and the driver attempts to hide the evidence...the high rating is given simply because I was involved in the film from the initial moments, and stayed that way because of the outstanding ensemble work, the dedication to dazzle the viewer with plot twist after plot twist, weaving threads that will somehow come together.I know this isn't Citizen Kane or Tokyo Story or Lawrence of Arabia--it's not important in any way, except as a thriller, and I was thrilled with a movie without attitude, without silly violence (eyeballs popping for the fun of it, that sort of thing), without an agenda. It's mirrors the way our lives can sometime be--things happen coincidentally and without any stated purpose, but with a strange logic. I went out and bought a used copy right after I saw it and have enjoyed foisting it off on friends.

It is 11:14pm, an accident happens. Different people cross paths on the road, and all of them play their part in the accident. The movie tells us the partial stories of each of the parts involved, how the actions of each of them lead to what happens at the beginning and end of the film. The movie is a presented as a puzzle in which all the pieces are assembled when the film ends. A second frozen in time and dissected for the benefit of the viewer.This is a dark thrilling movie, full of action, with a great mood and tempo, very engaging and never dull. The movie has no pity with its own characters, all of them depicted as mean, nasty, stupid and/or untruthful, deserving of the drama that unfolds during the night. Just some of the secondary characters are neutral or good.All actors are OK in their respective roles. Two of them especially shine: Hillary Swank, who really nails her role as red-neck shop attendant, and Rachael Leigh Cook is terrific as the nasty Lolita around which all the story, directly or indirectly, revolves.The movie is entertaining with a round story that will keep you glued to your chair. Its only problem is the mediocrity of the dialogs, and that the characters have no dramatic depth, but, well, you cannot expect depth from a thriller.
