Sorry, this movie sucks
Pretty Good
One of my all time favorites.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Worst movie ever!! Its not clever or funny or thought provoking. 84 minutes of bad actors doing their best with an awful script.Acting was so bad that you can see the dead people breathing.Maybe the writer/director combination believed they were Quentin Tarantino or something (you know make a movie about nothing still cool) but failed miserably.I hope the writer never makes another movie EVER!! not everyone is born a writer, sometimes we need to count our losses and go back to being a bathroom attendant or whatever.Please don't watch this movie, even on mute with the stereo going its still a painful 84 mins.
I caught this movie while in L.A. a few moths ago. Two girls were handing out flyers in front of a theater during the brush fires near the Hollywood sign, Traffic was at a stand still so my wife and I took up the idea of a random movie in the middle of the day. We each paid 8 bucks to see the movie on the flyer, "Ten till Noon". When the film ended my wife turned to me in the lobby and said : "That kicked ass". "Yea it did" said I.This tight little flick flips the structure of a 90 minute movie experience on its head. Like a great roller coaster, it seems to be ready to jump the tracks, but yet it never did. When it was over and the blooper scenes spilled out and credits rolled, I felt that an epic story had been told in the compression that we, as humans, know as TIME. Hence the title, and it's star, the ticking, digital and all other devices that display TIME and how insane life is within 10 minutes. The subject matter pushes the R rating as far as R rating goes, and the actors make the reality real, gritty with the story pulling them in along with the viewer. Kudos to the director for holding shots and letting the build happen. You don't see many films brave and confident enough to hold shots and let images and dialog soak in. When the walls of horrific violence do come crashing down. Its as if the viewer (camera) is also in 20 feet of it and better run! The most refreshing film experience of 2007.
I loved the film. Some of the negative things said on this thread are the same things said about Blue Velvet, Boxing Helena,and etc. It's a shame that someone would go so far out of their way to attack someone's work. This film has won many awards, has been accepted to festivals and received a distribution deal as well...so apparently other people are finding it to be a good movie. Everyone I know who saw it had positive things to say.This is a perfect example of Film Noir. If you are a lover of true Indie you will also be glad you saw this!I am interested in more of this director's projects.
"Scott Storm has the most natural talent of any filmmaker I know." - Bryan SingerScott Storm continues to be an under-appreciated creative variable in the States. Despite carrying a major award with his first feature at the Slamdance Film Festival some years ago, it has taken this long to realize his follow-up, a guerrilla indie production with the brand of TEN TIL NOON.While the title evokes images of a classic western, the picture is actually a dark examination of a single ten minute segment of one very bad day for a random group of seemingly amoral inhabitants of the City of Angels. While the film has yet to secure distribution beyond the festival circuit, it is crafty, violent and delightfully offensive in certain scenes. You could say that they don't make them like this anymore. Despite grander ambitions from the outset, Storm, Paul Osborne and their collaborators have accomplished uniquely commercial production values despite the complete absence of an "A-List" cast or reasonable project capitalization. In fact, the filmmakers en masse are to be commended for realizing a no-budget independent film ON FILM (as opposed to digital video) with intelligent sound design and yet another fine original score by the similarly underrated Joe Kraemer.Given the current industry prejudice against this type of independent film, your first opportunity to see TEN TIL NOON may be through AMAZON, STARZ late-night programming or NETFLIX. Despite the naysayers, this film is very much part and parcel of the Tarantino oeuvre, and if you like 'em lean, mean and bloody, TEN TIL NOON is worth your time and attention.
