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.
... View MoreThe movie is entertaining. It is funny at times, but not very much and not many times. But, that's not its main purpose.The main purpose is to show a way that many lives that are loosely connected can "crash" into each other under specific circumstances. It's not very likely to happen (some of it much less likely than the rest), of course, but it's not impossible.The story flows nicely, even though the main point is to tell the same story five times, which could have ended up feeling very repetitive. There are no significant plot holes, actors are doing their job good enough, as is the director and pretty much everyone else involved, and having enough funny parts spread out through the movie, all that combined makes watching this an entertaining experience.But, there's nothing really special here. There's not much quality in the story, except entertainment. Actually some elements of the story, while entertaining in this particular context, are pretty low quality, like what a (open car) window is supposed to be able to do to a boy (who sticks his body parts through it) and what are the consequences to said boy. The acting is nothing special, neither is directing in some way interesting or inspired.It's one of those movies to watch, enjoy and move on. Which is quite alright.
... View MoreAll the characters of "11:14" are connected with each other by three common things: 1) unusual accidents, 2) confusions with car keys and 3) the hour 11:14, night time. This twisted dark humored comedy reveals that things are unpredictable and strangely funny, but this can only work perfectly if 1) you've never seen so many films in your life or 2) you have a great sense of humor to all kinds of things no matter how painful or strange as it might seem.Henry Thomas, Rachael Leigh Cook, Hilary Swank, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Foster, Patrick Swayze, Colin Hanks, Barbara Hershey, Clark Gregg and others play the characters connected by strange accidents and they try to get out of the hurly-burly, making mistakes, making their worst to avoid problems and creating other problems. It goes from car crashes, a corpse falling off a bridge, a man throwing this same corpse off a bridge, an amputated sexual organ during a accident after a failed prank and it goes on and on. The story is told in multiple reverse moments, we see some of the situations over and over again to understand what really happened to all these characters.There's nothing left to say about "11:14" except that the writer must have a great sense of humor in creating all these situations, although one or two things are very predictable (the guy in the cemetery, I knew it what was about to happen). But there's nothing more than just nervous laughs in the film, no message, it's just good because it knows how to bring curiosity out of the viewers and it is funny. with some nice performances by the already mentioned casting.It is the perfect film when you don't have patience to do anything, when things are not so great in your life or whatever, just watch it, it'll bring some help, some smiles and it's good to pass the time. Don't take it so seriously or you'll miss the fun. 8/10
