"Tomorrow by Midnight is a precarious story about following the rules, anarchy, not being able to differentiate between constructed images and a deconstructed reality, competing desires, and no reprieves for this proficient cast of jejune and chic actors with a notable performance from Arquette and a seemingly flawless show from newcomer Jennifer Lambert."

"...with pockets of intrigue... Tomorrow by Midnight surfs along for about half its running time on an entertaining post- Tarantino wave of snappy rejoinders..."

"Quirky to the extreme, this very amusing hold-up comedy pits the woes and ways of the Nintendo Generation against the basic violent needs of man to get what he wants, when he wants it. If you cut to the chase, what you're left with is a great idea for a comedy, with a little room for a moral message and a lot of room for some great acting and some even greater moments of irony and humour."

"Rolfe Kanefsky does it again. The man who invented the self- referential horror flick with There's Nothing Out There (an idea copied by Kevin Williamson's screenplay for Scream several years later) tells this gripping, funny story in real time, which is hard to do. The cast is outstanding, and Kanefsky uses humor in even the tensest moments without breaking the dramatic arc. This one is a keeper, one of the best of the year."
