Trivia:

The character of Buzzy was originally written as a man. When Hilary Swank read the script, it was the character that "spoke to" her the most, and she asked writer/director Greg Marcks to rewrite the role as a woman so that she could play it, and he agreed.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Cherie arrives at the quick mart to get the bowling ball, the Camero's passenger side window is up in the first shot, but is clearly down 2/3's of the way when she tries the door handle.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Jack: [talking on his cell phone] I'm on my way back from Benny's. I'm almost home. Tell me where you are and I'll come get you.

Clever and intricate

A clever little thriller/black comedy, which holds interest. 11:14 tells the inter-connected stories of a group of people, all revolving around a tragic car-accident. We see the accident, which occurs at 11:14pm, from different perspectives, as the puzzle slowly comes together.

Sure, the story works a lot on coincidence, but it's still a great build up and interesting ending, despite it being somewhat of a let-down.

The very black humour includes two sections which might just be some of the most cringing moments for men in cinema history – one of them in particular had me cowering fear.

Good performances from Patrick Swayze and Hilary Swank make this a good cinematic treat.
