Info

Raph and Max only kill bad guys, and only after their boss Sam, a high-powered attorney, has cashed a nice paycheck for getting her sleazy clients off the hook. When Sam sends our heroes on a routine hit, they find themselves caught up in a conspiracy they never imagined. But whatever trouble they've gotten themselves into is nothing compared to the wrath of Raph's wife if he doesn't make it home in time for his son's birthday party. Being a good hit man is tough; being a good dad is killer!

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
danzig138-668-939218 Even now a few hours later, I'm still not sure what to give this movie. I went into it expecting it only to be stupid and ridiculous, because what else is a movie starring one-third of Head Cheese (Head counts as as third!) going to be? But it was far more ridiculous than even I expected. But in a stupidly, goofy, surprisingly entertaining way. Don't get me wrong; this isn't a "good" movie. The acting is . . . well, it stars Al Snow. The dialogue, man, the dialogue. It's something. Something that you can easily imagine the two writers being high as heck and laughing their butts off as they write it (though I give credit; there are some very clever lines scattered about). The IMDb estimate for the budget is $5,000 (yes, thousand). And that shows. But damn if Al doesn't do his damnedest to bring his domestic yet shadily employed character to life, and John Wells and his engaging smile delivers some of the cheesiest, stupidest freaking jokes and inappropriate laughter with a sociopath's sincerity and charm that's hard to resistYou know those movies that people say "You just have to turn your brain off for a little while" about? The kind of B-movie that's so bad, it's ultimately good? *This* is exactly that kind of movie. Just sit back and let the only slightly above "Beavis and Butthead" humor wash over you like a (insert favorite metaphor here). Okay, since I rate movies not based on their quality, but on how much I enjoyed them, then I guess I've got to give "Overtime" a 7/10. Because stupid as it is, I laughed my ass off through the entire thing. Sometimes at that stuff they wanted me to laugh at, sometimes not, but it was all good. In fact, of all the B-movies I've watched over the last year, this is either the best, or at least tied with (I can't believe I'm saying this) "Sharknado" (yes, I laughed my ass off through that one). Give it a shot. If you're inclined to drink or indulge in some of the Reefer Madness, you might do that before and during the film.
Woodyanders Henpecked hit-man Raph (a sturdy and likable performance by Al Snow) is asked by his hard-nosed attorney boss Samantha Carter (a pleasingly sparky turn by Katie Stewart) to work on a Saturday. Things go terribly awry when Raph finds himself locked in a zombie infested lab with his eager partner Max (an equally sound and engaging portrayal by John Wells). Worse yet, Raph has his son's birthday party to attend. Writers/directors Matt Niehoff and Brian Cunningham offer an extremely inspired, energetic, and entertaining blend of crime, action, humor, and horror: The brisk pace never lets up for a minute, the breezy tongue-in-cheek tone is well sustained throughout, the rousing action set pieces are staged with rip-roaring brio, and there's plenty of gore splattered around. Snow and Wells display a strong and appealing natural chemistry in the leads; their constant snappy rat-a-tat-tat banter in particular is simply hilarious. The rest of the cast are likewise up to par, with especially praiseworthy work from Sebrina Siegel as the tough Stephanie, Cristina Mullins as Raph's formidable wife Tammy, Erica Goldsmith as the feisty Monica, and Rita Hight as the deranged Dr. Bolland. The filmmakers warrant extra kudos for thankfully avoiding the usual end-of-the-world apocalyptic zombie premise. Cunningham's sharp and dynamic cinematography greatly enhances the movie's galvanizing hopped-up flashy style. Jason Paige's cool rocking score hits the spirited spot. A total blast.
Jillybean Daddy First off, I'm a longtime fan of director Matt Niehoff's work. Everything from his projects at SCAD to his current opus allow you into this amazingly talented director's gleefully disturbed mind. I have been into movies since I was old enough to watch the big screen and Overtime truly does bring everything you could want in a film to the table. First off, Snow and Well's on-screen chemistry is incredible. From start to finish they call to memory the Marx Brothers, Oliver and Hardy - you name it! These guys are hilarious. I watched Overtime in a church and was causing God to come by and ask, "why dost thou L.O.L in my house?" The Zaliens are actually creepy and hands off to the whole make-up department for horror effects that rival Savini's. The action is relentless and the bad guys do a great acting job because I was glad to see them die. At least in the movie. The camera work is pretty intense. The slow-mo scenes are awesome and help to make Max and Raphael worthy of a Jack Burton thumbs up. I love the soundtrack featuring blistering guitar work and, when necessary, an eerie score. It really set the mood in each scene, making the whole film an enjoyable ride from start to finish. The plot line is so well played out that I had to keep watching. A little action, a little sci-fi, a little horror, a lot of comedy, and an awesome movie. A Hit-man who is more family-man than assassin, yet saves the world from a Zalien apocalypse all in time to make it home for their kid's birthday? Sound strange? Welcome to the world of Overtime and the first of many of Matt Niehoff's great masterpieces.
shul08 Overtime was a really entertaining movie to watch- I guarantee you will not be bored for a single moment while watching it. The film was really well-done in every aspect- awesome camera-work, awesome editing, awesome effects, awesome acting, awesome everything. Al Snow and John Wells did a great performance. They were hilarious and had great chemistry together throughout the whole movie. Both are likable characters who will lead you through an action-packed adventure with some laughs and funny one-liners thrown in there. I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a unique and entertaining horror/action/comedy movie to watch!
