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.

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

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A master piece of the ages, even if you had to pause it repeatedly on your VHS or BetaMax to fully grasp the plot-thickeners. Sexy handsome naked (to limit the evidence, obvi) killer with a formidable piece for his work - back when full frontal was edgy - this was well a head of its time. American Psycho with balls. Not to miss. Stand and clap. And the best of Bronson to boot.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great Action, Great acting, a Great Villain, and a thrilling finale that may make you question whether the right thing was done or not.
