Late Watch

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.

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!

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 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.
