A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

A very innovative treatment in the Film Noir genre. Be warned that there are scenes of explicit sex, graphic violence, homosexuality and homophobia. Something to offend just about everyone. Of course, so does the wildly successful Borat! That said, this film is very well executed at all levels. The screenplay is very tight, with no holes in the logic. The direction is very even and consistent. The suspense builds in a well controlled manner with numerous twists that can be very difficult to manage effectively. The story has humor as well as intrigue and is quite captivating. The plot is somewhat reminiscent of Roshomon (Kurosawa), or it's American remake The Outrage. A story told from various points of view. But in this case, the emphasis is not on the differences in the points of view, but the actual events as they happen in real-time. Acting is quite good, sometimes excellent. Score is very innovative and appropriate to the events on the screen. All in all, the production values of this film are absolutely top-notch and equal to, or even superior to major studio offerings. And, the film begs the viewer to see it a second time in order to appreciate what is being told but not understood the first time. Highly recommended.

This is the caliber of a great film school project, which is a bit below a poor theatrical release. The script has lots of twists and the narration is told out of sequence from various perspectives all covering the same 10 minutes or so and is worth a look on a boring day.It's not a blockbuster but if you have a pulp fiction itch and want to see a movie that wishes it was pulp fiction but couldn't quite pull it off due to poor acting and limp action sequences- this is it.Not a bad way to waste a Saturday afternoon, I liked it even though it had some super amateur moments like checking the pulse of a person with leather gloves on, an assassin that wears high heels to work, etc.There are some sexually perverse scenes and I applaud it for that if nothing else. This movie tried pretty hard to be pulp fictiony but it's just OK-amateur in the end. PLOT: A guy is going to meet an unusual fate in ten minutes- see it from all the angles and pretend this is pulp fiction or something.

I recently had the privilege to view the motion picture Ten 'Til Noon. This movie is an edgy flick that's not for the whole family. It has many twists and turns that keep you guessing. Just when you think you knew what's going on, you find that you didn't know. This movie has it all; suspense, laughter, violence, betrayal, sex and a surprising love story. The story is told in the same ten minutes of the different characters that are linked in what appears to be a home invasion robbery. My mood was apathetic when the movie first started, but as each tale evolved my interest peaked. I couldn't wait to see what was next, even though it was sometimes shocking. The movie reminded me of a Quentin Tarantino directed movie and it had some of the suspense of "The Usual Suspects". After the movie was over, I found myself wanting to see it again. I feel that it would have this effect on most people or it would completely turn you off. The only question I had was "…what happened to Reuben?"

this film has the correct components to make a smart, sexy, funny, thriller that keeps the viewer glued while a complex plot is unfolded in a series of events that occur during the same ten min. period on the same day. the writing for the film is edgy and well done with great visual and audible sarcasm and dark humor. the acting is all well done and the actors help portray a cool style and sleek visual that aids the film in being the noir piece that it is, i highly recommend this film to anyone that is a fan of pulp fiction, Jackie brown, reservoir dogs, and any David Mamet film. the fact that this film was a low budget effort should not deter you from seeing this creative film. the cost of the film does not even begin to affect the quality of this picture or the caliber of the portrayed talent. the movie itself comes off as a polished, sleek film that doesn't fail to impress and enjoy.
