So, Happy Hour (2024) dives into the gritty underbelly of crime, with Jack Sullivan caught in a tight spot between family loyalty and his passion for his bar. The film really nails the atmosphere—dark, almost claustrophobic at times, as Jack weighs the consequences of his brother's debts against his own dreams. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, which might throw some off, but it mirrors Jack's inner turmoil quite well. The performances, though from lesser-known actors, pack a punch—especially the way they portray desperation. Practical effects are utilized to amplify the tension during the bar’s darker moments, making it feel raw and real. It’s a distinct take on the classic crime narrative, exploring themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the cost of dreams.
