Late Watch

Saw "Late Watch" at the Tribeca film festival, and have to say it was the most entertaining independent movie I have seen in years. My girlfriend and I laughed uncontrollably at parts, and there were almost no dry moments. Characterizations were unique and nicely varied, with the large and talented cast handled perfectly. The most immediate comparison would be "Clerks," but "Late Watch" is much more professional in terms of cinematography, acting and pacing. Not sure how this will be distributed, but I recommend seeking it out. Perfect Saturday night viewing, and a great look at a part of working life that few people, I suspect, will ever encounter. Great film!

I was in New York this past week and was able to secure tickets to the premier of Late Watch at the Tribeca Film Festival. Not really knowing what to expect I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout the film. More importantly I wasn't alone. I noticed that the audience agreed with me more more often than not that this is truly a funny film about the quirky existence of the night watchmen. The in depth character development and progression of the story made sense and the interaction between the characters was hilarious. I feel that this film fits right in with other "stoner" comedies like Clerks and Dazed and Confused that should be a staple in every college dorm room.

Tribeca Film Festival was my first movie festival and about 40 films later I felt like I've traveled throughout the world. I've never experienced such condensed intensity of emotions in such a short period of time through so many movies and am very happy to have seen such a variety of films. I have to admit some movies come and go and you forget them them the next day or they just get washed out by the next movie you see. Late Watch was one of the few that really stood out!!!

The movie is funny, smart and quirky enough to keep you interested and entertained from beginning to end. It has great character development, fun plot and smart dialogue. Not to mention great casting! This movie is as funny as it is dark and ironic.

I give it my highest vote.

I was lucky enough to catch this film's premier at the Tribeca Film Festival and was extremely impressed. The performances and directing were in perfect harmony with the writing. Nothing was overplayed or unbelievable which helped to keep the audience submerged in the film as we lived vicariously through the main character Travis (Stephen Daniels). The quirkiness of the characters were fascinating and real and relative which made it hysterical in it's plausibility This is the kind of film that you laugh with, at and IN because everyone has either met people like these or have been in similar situations. Thumbs up and good work to the filmmakers.

I recently viewed this film during the Tribeca Film Festival and I was pleasantly surprised. The film relies on a slew of quirky characters to keep the action moving and it does so with witty dry humor. I have a feeling that this is one of those few gems that get better each time you view it. The characters were so well defined and worked well on so many different levels.

The film centers around a writer named Travis who has just been hired as a security guard. It is all centered around his first day on the job and the odd characters he comes in contact with. Travis did a superb job as the straight man amongst all of the weird people around him.

Overall, the writing was hilarious, the directing was excellent and the acting superb. I was very happy that I had the opportunity to see this little gem of a film.
