Critics Consensus

Sharp, twisted, and darkly funny, 12 Hour Shift is an uncommonly clever heist caper with a refreshing female-focused twist.

It's a throwaway film that perhaps I shouldn't have enjoyed as much as I did, but Mandy is such a deliciously sour character.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

Awash in bloody organs and scheming characters, writer-director Brea Grant's grisly dark comedy 12 Hour Shift ends up being more frenetic than inspired.

It's a spiritedly entertaining bit of unrelenting nastiness, all of it centered on a strong performance from the versatile Bettis that's outstanding.

Rated: 3/4

As the debate rages on about whether strong female characters in movies should evoke admiration through heroism or just be flawed, human and sometimes downright unlikeable, it's nice to see that Brea Grant created a film that's full of different women.

Film Cred

Thrilling and hilarious, 12 Hour Shift is a marvel of gallows humor that takes the viewer on an exhilarating ride through half a day in the life of a group of captivating, desperate people who make increasingly terrible decisions.

Flick Feast

The irony that for a film with a running time of just 88 minutes, watching it feels like you are experiencing every minute of the full twelve hours.

Rated: 2/5

Mandy played her part too darn well! To the point to where I started to dislike her. Fun movie and hilarious acting script.

Seeing some of the other reviews for this movie I decided to give it a watch. There were times when I enjoyed this movie and decided to up my review to two stars, but for the most part I was kind of confused as to where the movie was going to go next. The crescendo of the last 30 minutes of the movie made it worth the watch, but it took a bit to get there.

I transitioned from "what the hell am I watching" to "this s*** is hilarious" . Each scene being more over the top than the last and everything perfectly cascading into this insane night with insane people working at some god forsaken hospital definitely got some laughs out of me. The movie is really funny (in a dark way) which works if you're into that kind of humor. Wayyy better than I thought it would be...

Complete and solid in what it did, more dynamics were needed to take it higher.
