Sid the Elf (North Pole)
When you hear the term rogue cop or vigilante justice instinctively your mind takes you to one image...a world class bad a** with a push broom mustache named Charles "You're so money and you don't even know it, but you do" Bronson. For years now Chuck Bronson has climbed his way up Sid's ladder to sit comfortably with other action icons like Arnold, Seagal, and even Mcqueen (Chad that is). There's just something about his dry tough guy one liners that make you go oh yeah this guy's got it. Naturally while perusing the Impact On-Demand choices we were delighted to see a feature starring our late action hero a knew we'd be in for a treat. Especially when you sprinkle in some Wilfred Brimley...then you've really got no other option. Brimley's work in this was so fine that the national diabetes association made him their official spokesperson just out of respect alone.
10 to Midnight came out in 1983 in the typical Bronson fashion. He's a rogue cop named Leo Kessler that's hot on the trail of a killer (who kills in the nude) that keeps slipping through legal loop holes to remain free. As the bodies of young attractive 80's chicks keeps piling up Kessler turns up the heat on his department and Chief Wilfred Brimley. When he doesn't get the green light to take the yuppie killer down he kicks things into high gear with some vigilante justice. Even a seasoned serial killer is no watch for Bronson's wit and all around toughness. Once the killer decides to take aim at his daughter he might as well have put a deposit down on his own headstone, cause Leo Kessler's doesn't like you using foul language. The ending to this one was purely sublime and nothing short of genius.
Once again Charles Bronson has out done himself in the B action department. This was clearly a film right on pace with the intensity of the Death Wish series that he's so very famous for. Outside of Chuck's perfect performance you had the charm of an early eighties cast that took the Don Mattingly Factor to new heights. There was a mustache and giant Rog specs at every turn. The supporting cast had so much going for it that it probably could have carried the movie for 3 stars even if Bronson just popped his head in on a few scenes. All around this one was a great watch that get's closed out with the classic Drive-In Totals:
DMF of 9
Killer doing Tony Manero pose in front of mirror with black spedo (minus the Night Fever)
5 nude kills
Rack count of 10
Old guy from Wedding Singer as hotel night clerk
4 pairs of giant specs
Pair of jeans pulled up to lower chest thanks to Wilfred Brimley
Nudity within first 10 minutes ( a young Sid staple)
My favorite Bronson film. September 27, 2009
Avidfan (Florida)
This film is worth watching the acting here was solid not great but solid. Obviously the nurses getting slaughtered in this film were inspired by the real life Chicago massacre committed by Richard speck but it was altered so the film won't get sued.
Bronson Was The Best! March 11, 2009
Loves Blue Gems (Sedona, AZ)
"Ten To Midnight" is a great movie if you love tough-guy Charles Bronson! This one is not on regular TV much, due to the "graphic nature" and nudity in the film, no doubt.
I loved this movie when it first came out years ago, and I love it now! Charles Bronson was the original "tough-guy" actor---and I love the way his character has a "backbone" and "metes out punishment" in the form of bullets from his gun, when the bad guy hurts and kills people! Ha Ha--I laugh when I see this! Unlike real life situations, where criminals get away with murder and torture, Charles Bronson's form of vigilante justice is what is so satisfying and entertaining!
I love this movie March 5, 2009
Jo E. Allen (Albuquerque, NM, USA)
This movie is horribly violent, but for some reason I just love it. Maybe it is because I know it isn't real. Anyway, it is one of the Bronson movies that doesn't appear very often and I think it is one of the best.
Bronson vs. crazed misogynist killer. Three guesses who wins. January 6, 2009
Zach Bibeault (Minneapolis, MN)
"10 to Midnight" is easily one of my favorite flicks from the Bronson/Cannon collab catalog of the 1980s. It seems that Menaheim Golan and Yoram Globus saw the market for slasher films was in hot demand and tried to make sort of a hybrid slasher-flick/Bronson cop thriller, and the combo works, thanks in part to an excellent performance by Gene Davis as the killer Warren Stacy. The plot revolves around a string of murders by Stacy, whom Davis effectively portrays as an unstable sociopath with poor social skills who grows to hate women since they always end up rejecting him for his off-putting persona. It's fairly predictable but extremely well-done. Leo Kessler, Bronson's character, stays on Stacey's tail throughout the flick, but when Stacy targets Kessler's daughter, you know Bronson is gonna whip out a can if you know what I mean! Nothing else can be gone into without spoiling.
Bronson plays his usual world-weary geriatric one-man killing machine very well as usual. Highly recommended for all fans of 80s action flicks, Bronson flicks, slasher flicks, etc. A gem here.
