11:14 (2004)

A clever little thriller/black comedy, which holds interest. 11:14 tells the inter-connected stories of a group of people, all revolving around a tragic car-accident. We see the accident, which occurs at 11:14pm, from different perspectives, as the puzzle slowly comes together.

Sure, the story works a lot on coincidence, but it's still a great build up and interesting ending, despite it being somewhat of a let-down.

The very black humour includes two sections which might just be some of the most cringing moments for men in cinema history – one of them in particular had me cowering fear.

Good performances from Patrick Swayze and Hilary Swank make this a good cinematic treat.

84/100

Superb writing highlights this bizarre exercise in synchronicity taking place in the little town of Middleton where we follow five stories, all interweaving and connecting in strange ways ultimately brought together by two horrific events that occur at exactly 11:14 pm. A masterpiece in dark comedy, everyone plays their parts with total seriousness but the absurdity of it all provides the viewer with numerous laugh-out-loud moments. You'll even be mentally making connections after the movie is over. Great entertainment. -- DrNostromo.com
