(Image credit: Warner Bros.) It Got Him To Love Making Movies Again, Which Led To The Second Part of His Excellent Career It doesn’t help that the film feels like it’s getting deeper and deeper into the darkness of night the longer the film goes on. Even though the film is a black comedy, I genuinely got a little nauseous thinking about what else could possibly go wrong. I’m not going to spoil anything for you since I do want you to see it, but in the span of a few hours, poor Paul goes from seeing a woman in her friend’s apartment to running for his life by the end of the night. Paul Hackett (played by Griffin Dunne) loses his money, and the second it happens, you already know that things are going to go south for him rather quickly.īut, it’s amazing just how south everything goes. What begins as a man just wanting to have a fun night out on the town soon dovetails into a night from Hell. Only one film has legitimately ever made me sick from tension, and that was Adam Sandler’s Uncut Gems (which should have been nominated for Best Picture), but After Hours is a close second.
