The Worst Film Ever

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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"

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!

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!

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!
