10 minutes à vivre

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.

Too many people have rated this film poorly. This is a fun movie made in the Hollywood underground style that gave us hits like "Reservoir Dogs" and "El Mariachi". The story itself is clever and one of the smartest shoot-em-up flicks I've seen since "Shooter". A lot of plot twists and an ending that leaves a bittersweet sense of closure. The film introduces a lot of new talent in the acting arena too. No big stars carry this one. No big name director (though he should be). No huge label. And yet it's destined to be a classic. The film isn't perfect. It's not the best movie ever made. It IS a great treat and something worth seeing. I am in NO WAY attached to the production. I don't know ANYONE attached to the film. I've been plugging it left and right though. GREAT FILM!!! Frederic Doss http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2427168/

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?"

I just saw this at the Indie Festival in San Francisco. No one else may ever get to see this one, but you should, so I'll make some comments.

The premise is very intriguing. A murder happens. The action occupies 10 minutes -- no more, no less, and that's what we see. Then we see a replay of those 10 minutes, and the actions of people associated with the murder, from their point of view.

This is a very clever premise, and the director pulls it off OK. As you might imagine, the acting is uneven; some very good, some really mediocre. The fellow who plays the hit-man is incredibly smooth, and his boss, Mr. Duke, also seems to be a more experienced actor. The rest of them are questionable. Larry (the unhappy bloke who is the hittee) is lame. Parts of the script are wooden. We also never get to see the story of the bank robber, which had the most potential in the whole setup. The gay characters are more of a plot trick than real people.

But on the whole, entertaining, with enough plot twists to make for an interesting time. I just wish they had done more with the script.

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.
