How is it possible that 11:14 went virtually unreleased in theaters? After modest film-festival exposure, it played briefly in San Francisco in August 2005 (over two years after it was completed), but that's a cruel twist of fate for such a cleverly twisted movie about cruel twists of fate. Destined for sleeper status on DVD (and given a slightly higher profile by Hilary Swank's subsequent Oscar-winning performance in Million Dollar Baby), the audacious debut of writer-director Greg Marcks boasts a fantastic cast in a smartly constructed comedy/thriller, partly inspired by Blood Simple, in which a fatal traffic accident is examined and re-examined from multiple perspectives. The flashback structure involves all of the characters and events that lead up to the accident's deadly occurrence at 11:14 on an otherwise pleasant evening in Middleton, a typical suburb of Anytown, USA (filmed in the vicinity of Los Angeles). Marcks's screenplay attracted an impressive ensemble cast (costar Swank also signed on as an executive producer), and they're all given equal time as the intertwined plots are revealed. They include Rachael Leigh Cook (whose bad-girl behavior sets the chain of events in motion); Patrick Swayze and Barbara Hershey as her worried parents; Swank and Shawn Hatosy as would-be criminals with a dimwit plan; Henry Thomas as a drunk driver whose involvement is deeper than we realize; and Colin Hanks as one of three teenage vandals on a fast track to trouble. With falling corpses, graveyard sex, reckless gunplay, and a severed penis, it's all in good, grisly fun (apart from intricate plotting, Marcks has no lofty agenda up his sleeve), and there's ultimately not much point to its random misfortune, but 11:14 is clearly the work of a promising filmmaker, worthy of rediscovery on DVD. Bonus features include Marcks's intelligent commentary, a standard behind-the-scenes featurette, and a useful "character jump" feature allowing viewers to choose a plot trajectory whenever one character encounters another. --Jeff Shannon

Ben Foster suffers "Separation Anxiety"........ December 7, 2008
.....from his penis; when it's chopped-off by a van window in [11:14]. Of course, he recovers in time to co-star in [3:10] to Yuma (hmmm...that time stamp again) with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale four years later.
But that's only one part of a very cleverly-woven story of individual circumstances intertwined, resulting in the deaths of two people and involving at least a dozen other townsfolk. Great "backtracking" of each storyline that leads to the dramatic ending (or beginning).
Does that make any sense? It will, after you watch this very cool movie that stars Patrick Swayze, Barbara Hershey, Hilary Swank, Shawn Hatosy (Alpha Dog, Outside Providence, The Faculty, In & Out), Rachel Leigh Cook (She's All That, Josie and The Pussycats), Colin Hanks (Orange County, Band of Brothers, King Kong), Clark Gregg (The New Adventures Of Old Christine, Iron Man), and the aforementioned Ben Foster (and his penis).
11:14 December 1, 2008
I watched this rather bizarre movie not knowing what to expect. Part way through I was hooked, and by the end I thought, "wow, what a clever movie." The movie seems somewhat improbable, dead bodies falling onto cars, an employee robbing his place of employment, a guy losing his genitals, but the end result was a well directed, well acted film.
What makes this movie a challenge to watch is how it works backwards from the climactic scene. The movie thus becomes a series of vignettes that evolve around the preceeding (succeeding) event. The viewer knows when each scene ends as the camera focuses on a clock. The end result is an event that happens at 11:14 though that is really the opening scene in the film.
With less capable actors, this film may have crashed and burned, but this cast is able to work with the director to make an entertaining, if off-beat, film.
Very good film, with surprising twists and turns. November 26, 2008

This was a great thriller/independent drama film that was filled with clever twists and turns and also had some nice black comedy moments to it. The acting, dialogue and action sequences are great and it's amazing how well this movie flows and how well it was put together, the film also stars Hilary Swank (who also produced), Henry Thomas, Rachael Leigh Cook, Patrick Swayze, Barbara Hershey, Ben Foster and others in a multi-storied film where all the storylines intersect at the title time. The first story runs about 5 minutes, playing in real time from around 11:10 to 11:15. It then goes back in time to follow someone else around the same time. Our first victim of circumstance is Jack (Henry Thomas). He's just finished a phone conversation when out of nowhere, a body lands on his car. Since he's been drinking he decides that it might be a good idea to hide the evidence. A passerby stops to ask what the trouble is and assumes that the driver has hit a deer in the road, but when the cop who reports to the scene and opens up the trunk, a mad chase through the woods ensues. Flash back to Frank (Patrick Swayze who was surprisingly good in this role), who's watching his daughter (Rachael Leigh Cook) leave from the window of their home. He decides to take his dog out for a walk through the cemetery. He soon discovers his daughter's keys on the ground and then runs headlong into a body, its skull crushed beyond recognition. Thinking that it was his daughter who committed the murder in self-defense, he decides to protect his daughter by getting rid of the body. There is also a hilarious subplot about three drunken teenagers who go out on a joyride and end up being in alot of trouble, and the moral of this story was don't pee out of the window of a moving car or else!. 11:14 was an extremely entertaining and well crafted film with great performances from the cast especially Hillary Swank as a not so clever store clerk and Patrick Swayze, who I'm not really a big fan but he was pretty good in this film as the overprotective father. I highly recommend this enjoyable film and two thumbs up.
 Underrated July 22, 2008
Very well executed film here in which a handful of funny/tragic events meet up in an unforgettable climax. The acting is really quite good as they had a fab script to interpret. If you enjoyed the stylings of Amoresperros, 21 Grams, and Babel, then this should be your cup of tea. This film is better than 99% of the mediocre films that make it to the mega-plex.
Cool frickin' movie. October 15, 2007

Rachel Leigh Cook is a bombshell that make me want to explode. I highly recommend this movie not only on the previously stated grounds but the simple fact that it is a really good movie. It has a dark comedy edge to it, along with quality, attention keeping plot turns to keep even the squirreliest ADHD afflicted kid mouth breathing at the TV screen in complete awe. Did I mention Rachel Leigh Cook is a goddess? Scrumtrulescent.
