Synopsis

When an uptown New Yorker innocently meets a downtown girl, he's uncontrollably drawn into a vortex of wild, malevolent and paranoid adventures After Hours.

Paul Hackett's (Griffin Dunne) terrible night happens in the SoHo area of downtown Manhattan when he goes to keep a date with Marcy (Rosanna Arquette). Nothing in his humdrum life as a word processor has prepared him for his surreal encounters with Marcy; her far-out artist roommate Kiki (Linda Fiorentino); cocktail waitress Julie (Teri Garr); ice cream vendor Gail (Catherine O'Hara); June (Verna Bloom), who lives in the basement of a nightclub; and Mark (Robert Plunket) who is ripe for his first gay experience. Now, Paul longs only for the safety of his upper-East Side apartment ... but will he ever make it home?

After Hours is certainly a bizarre, surrealistic movie I have ever seen. If you like cleverly written and unpredictable stories then do not hesitate to watch this. The film starts off like a romantic comedy but later on it turns into something quite sinister. Martin Scorsese (in this underrated film) just always manages to create this tension with each scene. It’s edited together really well using quick cuts and it’s something that doesn’t look out of place in Scorsese’s other work like Goodfellas or Casino. You as the audience always feel uneasy about certain situations as you share into Paul Hackett’s paranoia (played by Griffin Dunne), a New York word processor consultant who has the worse night of his life after he agrees to visit a girl in Soho. The characters are all interesting and memorable there are some funny moments in this black comedy that will keep you entertained.
