Critics Consensus

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

3/5

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.

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.

3/4

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

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.

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.

2/5

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.

A fun little black comedy with ample bloody kills. The 87 mins moves along at a frantic pace and the film never takes itself seriously which adds to the enjoyable humorous dialogue and inventive deaths. 4 stars and well worth the time.

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.
