Late Last Night (1999 TV Movie)
surprisingly great
25 April 2001
This is a really great film, and it's kind of shocking, it being a straight to video release (tho its actual first release was on Starz!=.) The film stars emilio as a man who is in the middle of having his wife leave him, and he turns to anyone he can find. After calling up a number of old friends, he gets in touch with Jeff who takes him out on the town. The story is well drawn out, and it never gets boring. I love the nighttime scenes, and the photography in this movie is gorgeous. Thru the night, they meet drugged up hookers and spend time with them, they spend time at a very weird party, they golf in the middle of the night, and emilio's character gets arrested. It's a wild movie, and the tone keeps changing. One second they're at a crazy party, and the next they're discussing philosophical things while playing golf under a star filled sky. It works really well, and the changing tones is a big reason this movie is so great. It's hard to explain, but for me, it's one of those movies that mix tone and the beautiful night scenes and music together so well it gives you this weird feeling of peace. Maybe I'm losing it, but I always feel somewhat peaceful when I watch this movie. It doesn't get much better than this. 10/10
