An outraged police detective (Charles Bronson) and his rookie partner (Andrew Stevens) skirt the law to catch a killer of women.

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

Gone With The Twins

Both a murder/mystery and a teen-oriented slasher, before morphing into a very unlikely revenge picture.

Rated: 6/10

Lee Thompson's 10 to Midnight is identical to its predecessors. [Full Review in Spanish]

Is this is a good movie? Not really. Is it entertaining to watch? Absolutely.

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.

One of the better Charles Bronson films where he hunts down a memorable serial killer who kills women naked.

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.

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.

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.

1983: A cop and his new partner investigate a series of murders, mostly women, with the victims stabbed in the stomach. They determine the suspect is a young man who chooses his victims from those women who reject him. The suspect is arrested, but is let go when it is discovered the cop planted evidence. Soon, the suspect, who knows of the cop's daughter, plots to kill her, while the cop continues to dog the suspect. Good cop drama. The suspect is very creepy (and commits his murders in the nude). Acting is fine, though Charles Bronson's cop character does show remnants of his Death Wish character. Geoffrey Lewis plays well as a slimy defense lawyer. Worth a look. Stars: Charles Bronson, Andrew Stevens, Gene Davis, Lisa Eilbacher, Wilford Brimley, and Geoffrey Lewis. Director: J. Lee Thompson
