Late Watch

This film is fun, quirky, and slick. I couldn't believe it was an independent film. The quality of the print is exceptional. I missed New York when I saw it. Fluid Eye Films did a great job of moving us through the story while maintaining a commitment to characters. All of which are extremely off their rocks. I laughed alot and I was visually challenged as well. My only critical comment is that I wanted even more of the character's craziness. I very much appreciated the detail in location, character and plot. I can't wait to own it on DVD!

It's not often that I see an independent film (and I have seen a lot) look so clean and at the same time play so funny. There always seems to be something off. Henry S. Miller's LATE WATCH proves there is hope for the independent thinking filmmaker. The camera moves with ease as we follow Travis (Stephen Daniels), the new late watchman at the warehouse, through an introduction to his collective of strange and perverse colleagues. We are navigated in detail through the warehouse observing the hilarious rituals of the staff over a twelve-hour period. While some films would gloss over character and focus on stereotypical story lines, LATE WATCH takes it time, engulfing us with "filmic" visuals (no stock footage here), which enables the audience to feel as if we are on shift as well. There are plenty of laughs, jumps and sensual overtones combined with a classic and gritty New York realism. It looks great. It sounds perfect(not the norm for independents). Look for this one soon.

A very funny ensemble comedy. There are a lot characters, and each are unique and make their mark on the film. The pacing is great and the movie stays consistently funny throughout. It is well written and directed. The cast does a great job. It is kind of like a blue collar "Office Space." This was easily one of the better films at this years Tribeca Film Festival. If you like smart, character driven comedies, then there's no doubt you are gonna like this movie. It's the kind of movie where you have a smile on your face throughout, anticipating what is gonna happen next. I'm sure each viewer will have a different favorite character, another thing that makes this film unique.

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.

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.
