AFTER HOURS (1985)
Featuring: Griffin Dunne; Rosanna Arquette; Verna Bloom
Director: Martin Scorsese
If you are into black comedy, you will be sure to enjoy this one. This was Martin Scorsese's first stab at this genre and laid the foundation for a number of his later films.
Done in typical Scorsese style, the story unfolds slowly to reveal a peek at one night out of the life of a very ordinary guy...when things go horribly wrong!
The cast is a veritable who's who of the 1980's comedy scene which include the likes of Cheech-and-Chong and a very young Bronson Pinchot. But don't let the names fool you. The comedy is as dark as they come and to many a bit off-putting. However, it is an acquired taste. So, if you are into stuff like the Blackadder series (which I am) this movie will definitely be right up your alley.
I rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
