Movie Reviews of 10 to Midnight
Movie Review: I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife..then I realized my wife's been dead for 2 months..who did I hit?
Summary: 5 Stars
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)
