I just watched this and LOVED IT!! (spoilers)

I was born in 1974, so I don't know how in the holy hell I have never heard of this movie until two nights ago.
I just watched it on Netflix last night and was blown away by how good of a thriller it really is.
The actor who played the killer was amazing, and totally reminded me of Christian Bale in American Psycho.
The blocking/staging of the killer in the nurses' dorm was so well done.
Charles Bronson totally kicks ass, though my only gripe was how he caught up with the daughter and the killer at the end while they were running at full speed down the street.
I'm recommending this movie to everyone who wants to see a good thriller movie.
10 stars!!

Agreed!!
I'd never heard of it either until earlier the winter...
I was at a small video store here in town that was selling off all of its VHS stuff. I pretty much bought out their entire Bronson inventory! Including a giant-box version of "The Mechanic" from like 1982.
10 to Midnight was amongst all of this and thankfully all the tapes still worked very well.

I've watched it several times now, and I can say it's easily one of the best Bronson movies of the 80's. Very entertaining and indeed well done.

I always laugh at the old Irish guy Bronson has in for questioning at the very beginning of the movie: "Tell ye exactly how I did it: straight-edge razor. When I catch 'em breakin' the Lord's commandments, that's what I do! I rip 'em with the razor!"

I was thinking the exact same thing about Christian Bale.I was born in 75, watched it for the first time last night,loved it.

It's a trashy, kinky, mean-spirited thriller with an amusing and memorable psycho, and Bronson in supreme ass kicking mode. In other words, good entertainment.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

Some gorgeous women in this one...this and Death Wish II are my favorite Bronson's.
