One ordinary night in downtown Manhattan turns into an escalating series of very bad decisions. After Hours was released in 1985.
Fast, anxious and funny, it is the perfect choice when you want a nightmare with momentum.
What makes After Hours a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
