MPAA RATING: R for strong sexual content, nudity, violence and language

Starring Alfonso Freeman, Rick D. Wasserman, Rayne Guest, Jenya Lano, Thomas Kopache, Daniel Hagen, Dylan Kussman, and Jennifer Hill

A jet-lagged man awakens to find two strangers in his bedroom, and over the next ten minutes, will experience the most terrifying -- and possibly final -- moments of his life. But who these strangers are, and what they want, can only be determined by events occurring elsewhere, and at the same time. We relive those same ten minutes through the eyes of those connected to what is not a simple home invasion, and with each person, find ourselves propelled closer to the truth. (HandStamp Films)

Film Threat Eric Campos
This could've easily been a giant mess, but aiding filmmaker Scott Storm in keeping his ship together is a talented ensemble cast who compliment the sharp, witty script by writer Paul Osborne. You're never too lost in trying to figure out why this poor guy is doomed and you're always entertained. Talent coming in from all sides makes Ten ‘til Noon great movie watching.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A triumph of ingenuity over budget, a taut, darkly comic thriller with a dart of pathos that holds attention like Super Glue from the first frame to the last.

Variety Peter Debruge
Paul Osborne's script delivers an intriguing structure, though dialogue tastes like something warmed over after 12 years in Quentin Tarantino's freezer.

LA Weekly Luke Y. Thompson
In more experienced hands, perhaps a great story could be told, but Ten ’Til Noon has two major factors working against it. First, the acting is wildly uneven...Second, once the conspiracy is more or less revealed, the story ceases to be interesting.

I already saw Pulp Fiction - this movie is all over the map with the acting, the story line is recycled Quentin - overall I want those 80 minutes of my life back. Don't waste your time on this.
