Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times This is a scummy little sewer of a movie, a cesspool that lingers sadistically on shots of a killer terrifying and killing helpless women, and then is shameless enough to end with an appeal to law and order. Rated: 0/4 Apr 29, 2018 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Both a murder/mystery and a teen-oriented slasher, before morphing into a very unlikely revenge picture. Rated: 6/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Octavi Marti El Pais (Spain) Lee Thompson's 10 to Midnight is identical to its predecessors. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy An alternately nifty and nasty police procedural. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Is this is a good movie? Not really. Is it entertaining to watch? Absolutely. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Feels like a big turning of the tide for Bronson's character, who unlike other action heroes of the period, might have had to face harsh repercussions in the end.

Ed . Nothing good happens after 9:50 at night. Although this neo-noir nude stalker slasher isn't camp and isn't on any critic's top 10,000 list, you may very well like this film. * If you're a Bronson fan you'll like 10 to Midnight. * If you like watching young women prance around naked you'll like 10 to Midnight. * If you don't mind seeing a young taut and toned male swinging around in the nude, you'll like 10 to Midnight. * If you're a fan of the versatile Wilford Brimley, and who isn't, you'll like 10 to Midnight. * If you like watching a father go to extremes in protecting his beautiful daughter, you'll like 10 to Midnight. * If you're a proponent of vigilante justice, you'll like 10 to Midnight. What's not to like? Fun fictoid: Wilford Brimley and Gene Davis switched roles at the last minute. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Jelisije J One of the better Charles Bronson films where he hunts down a memorable serial killer who kills women naked. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Melissa L I think this was much better than the ratings given here. It's not much of a mystery; it's more of a suspense/ early slasher. I think I've never watched a Charles Bronson movie before. I liked the ending, and I recommend it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Carlos I A sleazy midnight movie that has grown to be one of my favorite of Bronson's. It's an effective slasher flick, with Charlie thrown in to hunt the killer. What more could you ask for?! Helps that it has a dynamite ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Brad P Although more of a police procedural film than outright horror, 10 to Midnight still fits comfortably within Bronson's wheelhouse – even if the picture doesn't supply him with an endless horde of thugs to indiscriminately annihilate with impunity. The acting is strong across the board, the story taut, and the climax gives Bronson one of his most succinct, enduring one-liners. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/23 Full Review Matthew L Bronson at his finest........... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/22 Full Review Read all reviews
