Late One Night (2001): Cast & Plot

In a quiet, tense prologue, a young boy lies in his room as his father and pregnant mother scream at each other. The father declares he’s leaving the family and admits he hates that kid, a harsh seed planted long before the story unfolds. Fast-forward a quarter of a century, and the mood shifts to a cluttered, everyday world: at a bar, a man tries his luck with a girl who bluntly tells him to back off with a sharp “Drop dead.” In a nearby diner, a trio of factory workers trade lines with the cook and waitress, while outside a street preacher offers simple, sweeping assurances that God loves you.
