11:59 is as indie as independent films get and from the very beginning you could tell, this was not a film that had any kind of budget. The film is yet another take on Groundhog Day, as a man wakes up in a field, missing 24 hours. He goes about his day trying to figure out what happened, when miraculously he winds up back in the missing day and continues to re-live it. Being that this film had no budget, it was up to the cast to make it believable and worthwhile, unfortunately they fail miserably at it. I get that they were all newcomers, looking for their big break, but the performances here are beyond awful. The lead is played by Raymond Bailey, who has no personality. He actually had long scenes where he wonders around aimlessly, without saying a word, and just doesn't know what to do with himself. The rest of the cast was also terrible, ranging from boring to completely over the top. I've seen a lot of a bad movies and most didn't have the story to work with, that 11:59 did. I can honestly say never have I seen a cast of people who were less qualified to be on the screen. The low budget meant no special effects and no big named actors, but in order to make the film work, they had to give us something, but didn't! When I wasn't in shock over how bad the acting was, I was bored out of my mind, this movie was nothing but a huge waste of time!

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

The audience for this movie is anyone in the mood for an indie film that's high on plot, and is OK with struggles in dialog and acting. There is some social commentary and questions raised as to the effect media has in influencing the populace, especially during a scandal. Standard conspiracy type stuff but clever enough to make for a good watch. I gave it a 6 because it was compelling despite the weaknesses and made me interested in the imagination of Winans. This is a young filmmaker that shows promise as long as he handles his career well. His next feature is an animation, which I believe will allow him to develop the plot a little more and I could see being a world he is more comfortable in.
