good movie to watch...reminds one of groundhog day...but with a murder mystery plot line....Movie Review: 12:01... After Midnight
Summary: 3 Stars
12:01: 6 out of 10: As made for television sci-fi films go this is certainly one of the better ones. The sense of déjà-vu one gets from watching it however, is not necessarily from the same day repeating plot device but instead from the invariable comparisons to Groundhog Day.
In my always humble opinion Groundhog Day is one of the best films of the nineties. It told an eternal truth which is that many of us simply repeat the same day over and over again without living any particular day to the max. 12:01 doesn't have that ability and as a result much of the film it simply goes through the motions.
12:01 stars Helen Slater and Jonathan Silverman. Both actors never quite reached the promise of their early careers but both are certainly competent here. Slater just doesn't quite have the charisma of say a Helen Hunt and Silverman just never quite reaches the comedy of say a Jerry Seinfeld. Nevertheless they are both quite likable in their respective roles.
The story is a more serious sci-fi affair complete with giant science machines and bad guys that wouldn't be out of place in a TJ Hooker episode. With a relatively appealing cast and some nice humor 12:01 makes for a decent timewaster. Just don't be surprised if you feel you have seen it all before.
Movie Review: LET'S DO IT AGAIN..AND AGAIN....
Summary: 3 Stars
12:01 is like Groundhog Day meets the X-Files and while totally preposterous and with many plot inconsistencies, the movie manages to be entertaining; it has some humor and some suspense. Jonathan Silverman stars as a young personnel worker who is caught in a time bounce, wherein he must relive the same day over and over again and prevent the murder of a young scientist whom he has fallen for. Silverman's actions in the first half of the movie are out and out stupid, and no wonder everyone thinks he's nuts. However, as he learns a better way to prove his wild story, he becomes more convincing. The movie doesn't rely on special effects, and it's interesting to see how he manages to alter things and in doing so, we learn everything's not the way it seems. Oscar winner Martin Landau is disappointingly boring in his role, while SUPERGIRL's Helen Slater manages to look befuddled most of the time. Jeremy Piven shines as Silverman's buddy and Silverman is okay as the somewhat inept hero. Not a bad little scifi film.Movie Review: 12:01
Summary: 2 Stars
I've heard people say that this movie is better than Groundhog Day but I don't agree. The quality of movie isn't as good and neither is the acting. The only thing I could say was better was that they gave a reason for the day to be repeating and a way to stop it. For the first ten or fifteen minutes I was sitting there thinking "This is pretty dodgy" but it did get better.
