Eleventh Hour begins with a quote – “True redemption is seized when you accept the future
consequences for your past actions.”
It is the kind of film that constantly underscores a grave tension in the narrative. The cinematography follows each gesture and movement of the protagonist, pervading the scene with a sense of suspicion and foreboding. The viewer is constantly kept on their toes through this mode that makes one anxious as to what the next move could hold.
It seems like not a whole lot is happening in the film until after the first half. Then, there is a murder. By this time, however, it is no longer shocking for the audience, because that sense of the sinister has been suffused into the narrative from the start. It also seems like the cause or reason for the murder was never the main concern of the film. Its intention seems much more to mould itself around the film noir form.
