Four friends Sean, Vincent, Lenny and Jody find themselves at something of a deadend. Trapped in a twilight world of permanent night shift work, they hang out together in the local cafe, drinking coffee and entertaining themselves by observing Vincent's unwavering success in pulling women. There seems to be little prospect of change...until Vincent accidently sleeps with Sean's girlfriend.

Glasgow at night never looked so beautifully dead-end.

Saul Metzstein
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a brief early-2000s wave of British 'slacker' cinema alongside Human Traffic, capturing pre-internet aimlessness.
Director Saul Metzstein never made another feature; this remains a one-hit wonder of dead-end energy.

Reactions from the web
Nearly every British film from around this time started with: “This is Nige…he’s a nutter” “This is Becks…bit of a slapper but she’s alright” in some Mockney accent.

I bought a copy at a local 99 cent store (To the British that's the equivalent of a Poundland here in the colonies). I was expecting a ripoff of 'Clerks' because the packaging tries so hard to sell the film as "If you love Kevin Smith movies, you'll love this movie!" so my standards were low. I was surprised how much I would end up enjoying this.
