'10 to Midnight' (1983) – J. Lee Thompson.

The mid-to-late 80s saw a barnstorming B-Movie renaissance for cinema's premier death-dealing icon Charles Bronson, his frequent collaborations with independent film impresarios Golan Globus yielded some minor classics, not least being J. Lee Thompson's seedy, razor-edged slasher '10 to Midnight', which finds the indomitable stone-faced skell killer Charles Bronson on grimly wise-cracking, trigger-happy form as embittered, hypertensive L.A. Cop Leo Kessler pushed to bellicose breaking point by the increasingly sadistic murders perpetrated by Warren Stacey (Gene Davis), whose deranged modus operandi has the impotent, potty-mouthed serial killer do his sanguineous stalk and slash in the nude; Warren's lean, blood-spattered body, and eerily blank visage making him one of the more vividly disturbing maniacs in the perfidiously perverse pantheon of 80s horror. Another notable aspect that sets '10 to Midnight' apart from the myriad prosaic teen screamers is Bronson's palpably earnest, entirely credible performance, and the fact that movie maestro J. Lee Thompson's exciting feature works equally well as an especially mean-spirited, gut-punching maverick cop on the rampage thriller. With solid performances from a talented ensemble cast, an engagingly tense plot, and a midnight-dark, deliciously neon-hazed electronic score by Robert O. Ragland, '10 to Midnight' is slickly elevated to that of a switchblade-cool, midnight movie classic!
