After Hours

AFTER HOURS (1985) - July 31, 2005
An entertaining and really well directed film about a guy who goes out one night and finds himself stuck in one misadventure after another, all while trying to get back home. Another winner in the "lots of stuff happening in a short amount of time" genre. The stuff that happens to the main character gets increasingly bizarre as the film progresses, but it works as the whole film has a sort of stylized, off-kilter vibe to it. Griffin Dunne is good in the main role, and Martin Scorsese's direction ensures that the film is always interesting to look at. ***
