Late Watch

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.

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 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.

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!

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.
