Jack (Henry Thomas) is driving his car at night, drinking, when all of a sudden he crashes into something that seems to have dropped from upwards. He realizes it is a human, and he is dead. He can barely get him in his trunk before a woman drives by, and thinking he hit a deer. She thinks she will help him by calling the cop nearby. Soon after the woman leaves, the cop arrives. He soon realizes it is not a dear and sets out to arrest him- only he has no handcuffs left because there are already two people arrested at the back of the car…
These are not spoilers. This is what happens in the first 5 minutes of the film. The crash happens at exactly at 11.14. What our half-sober driver doesn’t know is that everyone is actually, unknowingly, related to this incident one way or the other.
The movie is full of unexpected twists and turns, full of fun characters and a lot of complications. It has a cast full of names we are familiar with: Barbara Hershey, Rachel Leigh Cook, Patrick Swayze, Hillary Swank, Colin Hanks (son of Tom Hanks), Henry Thomas and Shawn Hatosy.
What the movie does is to take the clock a little back every time so that we can see what the other characters were doing and why. It is like a more entertaining and immediate version of a butterfly effect. It is a fun ride full of unexpected acts of crime and people’s reactions to it.
I was watching Prizzi’s Honor on TV and not really liking it when I stumbled upon 11.14’s opening credits on another channel. From minute 1, I was hooked. Recommended.
7.3 on IMDB. Wouldn’t rate it any less. Written and directed by Greg Marcks.
This movie has a terrific ending. Below are 2 different lists movies with great endings:
Don’t worry. You do get to know what’s with the weird suit, where (most of) Donnie (J. Gyllenhaal) ‘s troubles come from.You will however probably be left with some questions in your head so I suggest the director’s cut.
