11:14 - elevenfourteen

Hmm, am Ende habe ich eine Pointe vermisst. Außerdem fehlt dem Film eine richtige Handlung – man weiß zwar, was den einzelnen Figuren zugestoßen ist, man erfährt aber leider nicht, was mit denjenigen passiert ist, die überlebt haben. Die Ideen des Drehbuchautors (und des Regisseurs) sind aber angenehm schwarzhumorig. 11:14 - elevenfourteen kann man sich ruhig anschauen, man wird keinen Schaden davontragen. Dreieinhalb.

I don't even understand why the film didn't stick with the original title, which I think is a good one that doesn't need any translation and makes sense, but some people just like it grittier. Anyway, I liked the movie a lot. Not too long, not so convoluted that you get lost in it, well thought out and acted. Everything the way I like it. For a while I was hesitant to give it the full number of stars, but I recently saw a movie in which an unplanned collision also played a major role (actually, this is the third movie I’ve seen recently based on an accident, purely by coincidence), and given my rating of the movie in question, I'll stick with 4 stars for this one. I think it's just about right. (28.08.2021)

A bizarre bit of screenwriting that is influenced by Tarantino's famous film Pulp Fiction in terms of mixing genres, and shuffling the chronology of the story with several parallel character stories that get roughly the same amount of space in the film and are endowed with cool characteristics. Humor, as typical for Tarantino's films, is combined with violence and human suffering. There are also several crimes, dead bodies, one severed penis, and somewhat raunchier language - basically, everything that a cultured viewer nurtured by Bergman and Fellini likes. The film has a very reasonable runtime and fast pace, but it does not have as well-written dialogues as early Tarantino films, lacks black humorous lines, and the director's inexperience is noticeable in the film. Overall impression: 65%. (19.08.2008)

Twists and turns like in Czech politics, a mangled penis and Rachel Leigh Cook's bouncing breasts. No one paid much attention to the logic, but the above, together with the endearing naivety with which this sort of story is put together, doesn't allow me to go below an average 3*. The sex scene in the graveyard is awesome. (04.12.2012)

The time which has passed since the last time I saw this film only contributed to my good mood. Seeing all those youngsters there added to my enjoyment of it - now it was perfect. I like films in which a number of storylines intersect at one point. When there’s also black humor in quantities greater than small, I'm nothing but thrilled. (14.04.2020)
