Review of After Hours (1985) by Barbara H — 10 Oct 2009
Such a dark, ironic and uncomfortably funny string of events plus a large helping of bizarre, paranoid and unpredictable characters have never before been forged into one story.
The film follows Paul Hacket (Griffin Dunne) on a date from hell, where from square one it all goes horribly wrong. As we move on, the mood winds up into a frenzied nightmare as this poor mans' plight goes from bad to worse. "All I want to do is go home" he says, running for his life from an angry mob.The story isn't complex, which you may think could bore, but the characters are so delightfully wacky that you can't help but be transfixed.
