Morgan Hua 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.

Claudio Carvalho 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"

Brandon Freeman 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!

jlynnpx I saw this movie for the first time in Kansas City and was absolutely intrigued! I believe this movie was an all around excellent planned out plot and story! The values and ethics established in this film gave a great look to the value of life, which is commonly taken for granted. A job well done to all of the actors and actresses! I was really hoping the boss would get hit by a car, but I guess you can't always get what you wish for!! Raymond Andrew Bailey did an INCREDIBLE job as the lead Aaron, very heart-felt! He made tears come to my eyes! I hope to see him in many more films! Jamin Winans did an awesome job on this feature and I can't wait for future productions!
