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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Underrated
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.
Rating: - Cool frickin' movie.
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.
Rating:  - Entertaining Dark Comedy, Still Hardly Groundbreaking
Mixture of crime and comedy told with multiple viewpoints is no longer a new thing after "Pulp Fiction," but the impression of "11:14" is closer to Doug Liman's "go" (1999), of which tagline goes "Life begins at 3 am." Greg Marcks' film starts earlier, but the tone is slightly darker.
The film, which starts with one strange car accident involving a dead body falling from up above, skillfully puts together a range of different perspectives. More strange and bizarre accidents are to happen ... Read More
Rating: - EXCELLENT FILM! DON'T MISS IT!
This is a really cool movie. If you liked Crash or even Pulp Fiction you will really like this little known film. One of the best I've seen in a while.
Rating: - What a crime !
...that this fantastic film seemed to slip under the radar.
It has a great cast, impressive direction and a story that "knocks it out of the ball park." This also happens to be one of those films that not only impresses, but, it also happens to be a lot of fun....even after repeated viewings.
If you enjoy well written and well performed movies, and ones that have an edge as well as a gimmick that doesn't come off as pretentious, then I would strongly recommend watching 11:14.
