After breaking the news with the arrest of Thomas Hastings, the suspect of the abuse and murder of two children in a Monday morning, the asthmatic photojournalist Aaron Dougherty becomes the sensation in the ACN News Organization, being congratulated by the director Adele Ransom. He celebrates in a night-club, and wakes-up in a field in the middle of nowhere on Wednesday, having a lapse of time of 24 hours in his life. When he arrives in his job, he becomes aware of the important events that he missed, and he is assigned with his partner Lisa Winders to minor works, not covering the important election between Hansen, of whom Hastings is a collaborator, and Gordon. On the next morning, Aaron wakes-up again in the same field but on Tuesday, and he is able to avoid the announced tragedies, disclosing a huge political conspiracy. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

THE Indy movie to see.

Waking up in the middle of a baron field is seldom a pleasant experience. Especially when you have no idea how you got there or even any recollection of the past 24 hours. 11:59 is a great Indy film that delves into what happens when some unknown force gives you a glimpse of the day after tomorrow. Then gives you the chance to make things right. The idea can be somewhat compared to the make-things-right-to-move-on film Groundhog Day in which Bill Murray is given the chance to repeat Groundhog Day over and over again until every event of the day is made right. In this film, the lead Character, Aaron the jaded photojournalist (played by the wonderful Raymond Andrew Bailey) gets a glimpse of the day after tomorrow. After learning of a tragic death, he is given the chance to save a life. This movie is thought provoking, attention grabbing, and a definite must-see. THE best Indy film of the Kansas International Film Festival (in my opinion). SEE IT!
