About This Movie

So, '86'd is this interesting little flick set in NYC, during the Koch era, that dives into four interconnected stories all unfolding in a 24-hour deli. The tone is pretty gritty, capturing that late-night vibe perfectly. It really thrives on its seedy atmosphere—think dim lights and that feeling of something just off-kilter. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it definitely mirrors the chaotic energy of late-night city life. The performances feel raw, adding to this tangible sense of urgency. And there’s a certain charm in the practical effects too, nothing over-the-top, but they serve the narrative well. Not groundbreaking, but it definitely carves out its own niche in the comedy-crime genre.
