We have seen this movie before and we have seen it done better before. Go (1999) springs to mind as the best film that has interwoven plots that all come together and make sense at the end. The film moves at a fast pace and it never gets overly complicated. These factors work to its advantage. The let-down is that this is not original enough to be memorable. It is acted well enough to be believable. The music is alright, being let down by its upbeat tone. A film by numbers that entertains but never really goes anywhere.

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.

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.

11:14 is an independent thriller that follows the intricate connections of five different story lines that collide in a series of deadly and ironic twists. Ensemble cast includes Rachael Leigh Cook, Henry Thomas, Shawn Hatosy, Stark Sands, Colin Hanks, Ben Foster, Barbara Hershey, Clark Gregg, Patrick Swayze and Hilary Swank.It was directed by Greg Marcks.The film involves a series of interconnected events that converge up to the same time at 11:14 p.m. The connections between the events are not apparent at first, but are gradually revealed by a series of progressively receding flashbacks:1) Jack, who has been drinking, is seen driving along a road at night talking on his cell phone. The clock on the dashboard reads 11:14 p.m. Suddenly, as he drives under an overpass, something smashes across the windshield, causing him to skid off the road. He stops by a deer crossing sign and gets out to inspect the damage, and finds a human body with a badly mutilated face lying close to his car. When he sees another car approaching, he panics and drags the body out of sight;2)Teenagers Tim, Mark and Eddie are driving around causing trouble by throwing things out of the windows of Mark's van, including a book they have set on fire;3)Frank is walking his dog late at night and discovers his daughter's car keys next to the dead body of Aaron in the cemetery. Thinking his daughter is responsible for the death, Frank packs the body in the trunk of Aaron's car, accidentally locking the keys in with the body;4)Buzzy is working at a convenience store late at night. Her friend and co-worker Duffy arrives and they begin discussing Cheri's pregnancy and money needed for an abortion; and 5)Cheri leaves her house to have sex with Aaron at the cemetery. Aaron is reclining against a tombstone that has a stone angel on top. The angel's neck is damaged and the heavy stone head falls onto Aaron's face, killing him instantly and mutilating his face.The camera pans to Cheri's cell phone, which reads 11:14 p.m.This is an enjoyable and smartly directed comedy thriller with a clever script and engaging performances from its ensemble cast especially Hillary Swank and Patrick Swayze. The solid screenplay satisfyingly clicks everything together, unraveling little mysteries as it goes and leaving nothing hanging. The audience is made privy to connections between the characters that they themselves are unaware of and they will see how various lies and deceptions lead to murder.Ultimately,this is an enjoyable and entertaining film.
