'After Hours' is a film, that is meant for a certain audience. A Dark Comedy by Master Filmmaker Martin Scorsese, that offers shock value, some engaging moments, but, it's dark tone, will not attract everyone.
'After Hours' Synopsis: An ordinary word processor has the worst night of his life after he agrees to visit a girl in Soho whom he met that evening at a coffee shop.
This Dark-Comedy is meant for a certain audience. Scorsese's Direction is fantastic, while the writing material is fairly engaging & offers shock value. But, as said, the dark tone and the complicated narrative, will not attract everyone. You need to be in a certain mood to absorb a film like 'After Hours'. In my opinion, the film worked in bits. I truly feel the second-hour could've been better, and even shorter in terms of length. Cinematography & Editing are well-done.
Performance-Wise: Griffin Dunne delivers a terrific performance. He beautifully executes and understands his character. Teri Garr, like always, is top-notch. Rosanna Arquette is impressive. Linda Fiorentino does exceedingly well. John Heard gets limited scope. Verna Bloom lends support.
On the whole, 'After Hours' is engaging & absorbing in parts.
