Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The editing and pacing of this movie was too slow. Frames held too long on close ups for no reason. Frames on empty scenery for no reason. It sort of drove me nuts and bored me.The time travel isn't explained at all. I can tolerate The Hand of God, but why in this instance? I mean if the main character sacrifices his life for the kid's, then I would have bought it more. But it was basically a happy ending that was wrapped up too easily.The acting, by the main actor was also too one note for me. When a guy picks him up at out in nowhere, he doesn't even introduce himself or even thank him when he's dropped off. So, weird. I don't know to either fault the actor or the writer/director for that. But everything about the main character was off putting, sort of a tired depressed anti-social dude. I was glad that his ex- girlfriend wasn't with him anymore. Not sure why she seems to still want to get back with him.The key to conspiracy movies is that it's modern noir. Trust no one and paranoia. This movie fails in that the protagonist, with one act, collapses the whole conspiracy. Well, if the evil conspirators are that good, deniability is your number one weapon. To tell him that, "Oh, you got me. You're fired," seems a bit silly. Having the child finger the serial killer and having the killer turn himself in is a bit pat. I would have preferred that the authorities arrest the main character for the abduction of the child that he saved. That would have been the most logical assumption. It should have just spun out of control and totally crucified the main character, but for him, it should have been worth it to save the child and to save the first suspect.On the DVD, I do recommend the short 8 minute film on the Special Features: Spin.

I saw 11:59 last night in Kansas City/Overland park! I thought that for the first feature film for Jamin, and the first lead role for Raymond Bailey, I thought they did an excellent job! They kept you in suspense and made you cry at the end! I would buy a thousand copies right now!!! I know that everyone that watched it with me would agree when I say that everyone involved with the movie are very talented! Being from Colorado myself, I think they did a great job portraying the state for how beautiful it is, but also how mysterious it can be too! I'm very proud of everyone involved, ESPECIALLY RAY!!! I think Ray is the next best thing coming to Hollywood!! Watch out Brad Pitt! Finger thing!

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!
