Too much celebrating after scoring the year's biggest story leads to 24 missing hours in the life of photojournalist Aaron Doherty. Awakening in a wheat field with no memory of the previous day, Aaron struggles to account for the gap. Sent back in time when the phenomenon recurs, the progressively disoriented Aaron is left to untangle the vast political conspiracy that's behind it all.

OK,i love movies,all kinds: independents, big budgets, internationals. Usually, my rating of movies is similar to the general score of IMDb. But in the case of this movie(and batman rise), i don't agree with the score and i suspect that members and friends of the cast have deliberately writes theses hight score review.I think the director was more thinking to show off how good he is in all kind of camera work (shaking hidden camera,long camera pose, all camera angles,fast frames shot) then telling a good story.The movie is a pretentious low budget flick with want to be actors(and a director) with so many big plot holes it could fill a black hole.Yes, i am frustrate. Not because i just seen a bad movie but because of these people reviews that try to manipulate a score for there own agenda and think they are so smart doing so.....sorry guys, the movie speak from itself so is my score.i speak french, that will explain my poor writing in English

After breaking the news with the arrest of Thomas Hastings (Chris Kelly), the suspect of the abuse and murder of two children in a Monday morning, the asthmatic photojournalist Aaron Dougherty (Raymond Andrew Bailey) becomes the sensation in the ACN News Organization, being congratulated by the director Adele Ransom (Liz Cunningham). He celebrates in a night-club, and wakes-up in a field in the middle of nowhere on Wednesday, having a lapse of time of 24 hours in his life. When he arrives in his job, he becomes aware of the important events that he missed, and he is assigned with his partner Lisa Winders (Laura Fuller) to minor works, not covering the important election between Hansen, of whom Hastings is a collaborator, and Gordon. On the next morning, Aaron wakes-up again in the same field but on Tuesday, and he is able to avoid the announced tragedies, disclosing a huge political conspiracy."11:59" is an intriguing low-budget movie that deserves to be discovered. The story about political conspiracy, premonition and providence keeps the mystery until the very last scene. The pace is adequate, and there are anguishing and suspenseful moments, specially when asthmatic Aaron runs with the boy in his arms. The screenplay is very well written, the direction and performances are top-notch, and the camera work is excellent and the music score is great. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "11:59"

I saw this film at the Idaho International Film Festival (it was actually the only feature I was able to attend), and it intrigued me.There are a few flaws, mainly a few actors who didn't give it their all, I felt, but the lead actor helps the film by taking it seriously and overshadowing the others. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing him in future films.My biggest qualm with "ll:59" was the over-use of choppy editing. I understand the need to show disorientation, but the scenes in the news room would often cut - not to another angle - but to what appeared to be another take from the same angle. Just very unnatural.However, the film got all of these kinks out of its system by the end of the first act, and I felt the rest of the film carried itself along quite nicely.I would be extremely happy if my first film (which I am currently producing) turns out as well as this film has. Great job, guys, and good luck and God bless on your future endeavors!

Waking up in the middle of a baron field is seldom a pleasant experience. Especially when you have no idea how you got there or even any recollection of the past 24 hours. 11:59 is a great Indy film that delves into what happens when some unknown force gives you a glimpse of the day after tomorrow. Then gives you the chance to make things right. The idea can be somewhat compared to the make-things-right-to-move-on film Groundhog Day in which Bill Murray is given the chance to repeat Groundhog Day over and over again until every event of the day is made right. In this film, the lead Character, Aaron the jaded photojournalist (played by the wonderful Raymond Andrew Bailey) gets a glimpse of the day after tomorrow. After learning of a tragic death, he is given the chance to save a life. This movie is thought provoking, attention grabbing, and a definite must-see. THE best Indy film of the Kansas International Film Festival (in my opinion). SEE IT!
