À propos de ce film

The Last Shift is an American story about two men struggling in the same town, while worlds apart. Stanley (Richard Jenkins), an aging fast-food worker, plans to call it quits after 38 years on the graveyard shift at Oscar's Chicken and Fish. His last weekend takes a turn while training his replacement, Jevon (Shane Paul McGhie), a talented but stalled young writer whose provocative politics keep landing him in trouble. These two who share little in common are brought together through circumstance. Stanley, a high school dropout who has watched life pass by his drive-through window, proudly details the nuances of the job. While Jevon, a columnist who's too smart to be flipping patties, contends their labor is being exploited. A flicker of comradery sparks during the long overnight hours in a quiet kitchen.

Notes et avis

I agree with the comments about not much comedy but rather it was more on sad drama. I think I got railroaded. Anyway, a redeeming quality is some of the dialogue and the portrayal of reality. Life is unfair. Life is tough. People are not equal- that is in circumstances, abilities, intelligence, ambition, etc. And that is OK! And where and how you end up is, still basically, up to you!

Great acting the shuttle racism was something new to see you'll usually see the in your face type In movies,I wantd them to connect sooooo bad on human level they tried but race came up sorta how it still is today in american crazy enough so loved how they showed today's world in this flim

Full of life lessons but needed an ending.
