“Forget What’s Legal. Do What’s Right!”…
… Could a tag-line possibly sound more Bronson-like? J. Lee Thompsons “10 To Midnight” of 1983 starring the great late Charley, is a decent cop flick, not nearly one of the most memorable Bronson flicks, but still a pretty suspenseful little thriller that will highly entertain all my fellow fans of everybody’s favorite no-nonsense ass-kicker.

Warren Stacy (Gene Davis) is a psychopathic serial killer who gets his kicks by running around naked and stabbing his victims to death. He does not randomly select his victims, but kills, because he wants to get back at the women who have rebuffed his advances. Leo Kessler (Charles Bronson) is a tough and experienced cop, who doesn’t hesitate to use unorthodox methods to get justice done. When Kessler investigates the murders he has to find out that the latest victim was a close friend of his daughter’s (Lisa Eilbacher). Accompanied by his rookie colleague Paul McAnn (Andrew Stevens), Kessler soon finds out who the murderer is. Warren Stacy is quite smart, however, and never leaves any evidence. Things quickly get personal between Kessler and Stacy, and you know Charley B. – he’s probably not the guy you wanna mess with.

“10 To Midnight” differs from the majority of other Cop vs. Serial Killer thrillers, since the viewer knows from the very beginning who the killer is. The movie focuses on the strife between Bronson and the serial killer, and builds up suspense by focusing on the serial killer and his possible victims. Since Bronson has to use illegal methods in order to get justice done (“Forget What’s Legal… Do What’s Right!”) the film is, of course, politically incorrect as hell; But isn’t that exactly what we love about Charlie Bronson? The man takes the law in his own hands and doesn’t mind the bad guys getting hurt – If you don’t like it, stop whining. Bronson is great as always and Gene Davis delivers a great performance as the serial killer, very wooden and therefore very creepy. Lisa Eilbacher, who play’s Bronson’s daughter, is very cute, and Geoffrey Lewis is great as the killer’s sleazy lawyer. Some folks complain about poor editing in this movie, I don’t really see why. One of the things I didn’t like was the fact that the killer was rather one dimensional. “10 To Midnight” may lack depth, but it is a suspenseful film, certainly no masterpiece, but nonetheless a decent thriller that Bronson fans should like. I recommend to watch this, and to have a beer doing so.

When will bad guys learn not to mess with Bronson?
“10 to Midnight” is an agreeably sleazy thriller from the redoubtable team of actor Charles Bronson and director J. Lee Thompson. Bronson is in superb ass kicking form as detective Leo Kessler, on the trail of depraved creep Warren Stacey (Gene Davis), who gets back at the women who spurn his advances by brutally murdering them – in the nude, no less. Leo and partner Paul McAnn (Andrew Stevens) eventually are able to get Warren into a courtroom, but only because Leo had falsified evidence against Warren, since the killer had been able to provide an alibi for a particular crime. A disgusted Leo, having lost his job due to his actions, starts harassing Warren until Warren strikes back by targeting Leo’s feisty daughter Laurie (Lisa Eilbacher), a student nurse.

Provided one likes their “cop vs. killer” movies to be on the trashy side, this does prove to be good fun, delivering sordid thrills for a well paced 103 minutes, with a fair amount of both female and male skin displayed, and a slasher movie styled approach to its bloody killings. It’s mean-spirited, yet humorous at times: it’s such a hoot to see Bronson find a certain possession of Warren’s and then grill him about it later. He’s enjoyable to watch, as is a supporting cast full of strong actors. Good looking guys Stevens and Davis fare well as the initially annoying partner and the kinky psycho, especially Davis, whose character’s predilection for adopting a ridiculous Mexican accent will call to mind Nicholas Worth’s equally outrageous work as the killer in “Don’t Answer the Phone!”. Geoffrey Lewis shines as Warren’s slick lawyer, and Wilford Brimley has a typically commanding presence as Leo’s superior, while Robert Lyons plays the district attorney. Eilbacher is gorgeous and appealing, and the array of hot ladies in the cast include a young Kelly Preston (billed as Kelly Palzis) and Playboy Playmates Ola Ray and Jeana Tomasina. The climactic set piece, reminiscent of the real life massacre committed by Richard Speck in the 1960’s, is some seriously nasty stuff, and the final foot chase is a true corker, with the movie ending on a perfect note as Bronson delivers a one liner while dispensing his own brand of justice.

Featuring an effective music score by Robert O. Ragland, “10 to Midnight” is great gritty entertainment that moves along nicely with nary a dull moment and began the Bronson-Thompson-Cannon Group series in high style.

Eight out of 10.
