Member Rating:  
Martin Scorsese's After Hours is a dark, tragi-comic tale of a fish out of water, centering on an uptight, white-bread computer consultant from uptown Manhattan who finds himself in the nightmarish and incomprehensible (to him) world of Soho after dark. The ordeal begins when Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) gets lonely and decides to leave the posh East Side and search the Soho streets for some loving from Marcy (Rosanna Arquette), the pretty young woman he met in a downtown cafe. He has her phone number and works up the nerve to call. She wants to see him, and so Paul grabs $20, hails a taxi and sets out. The weirdness begins when he loses his money during the high-speed cab ride. His visit to Marcy's loft, where he meets her crazed artist roommate Kiki (Linda Fiorentino), is a disaster, as is his encounter with the beehive-wearing retro waitress Julie (Teri Garr). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Another favorite of mine from scorcese. People focus on Scorceses monumental works and pan his dark comedies. this is brilliantly dark, almost painful...to watch griffin dunne stumble around the city after hours makes you yearn for the nightlife. Rosanna Arquette is alluring... but those burns! Terri Garr probably gives the best performance as the desperate cocktail waitress. Anyway, definitely worth a rental!

I had seen this movie a few years ago. Now that it is available on DVD, I decided to take another look. This is a cleaver look into the life of a guy that is put through the paces of a Kafka novel. The catch is that, they make it into a comedy. Directed by Scorsese, this movie is the hilarious look into one night of madness. It's almost like a descent into hell and back. Can anyone say "Dante's Inferno"? I highly recommend this film; if you like the Seinfeld paranoid comedy. A classic piece by Scorsese.

This movie is definately off-beat, which is why I like it. I've seen it a few times over the years and wouldn't rent it if it wasn't worth seeing again. It's unlike any other flick out there. It holds your interest because the character keeps finding himself in unusual situations meeting these weird people over the course of a night in the city, and you don't know where he'll end up next. Only the brilliance of Scorcese could pull off a flick this strange and make it work. It stars Griffin Dunn (the dude that gets eaten in American Werewolf In London).
