Synopsis

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!

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.
thebigbang991 I wouldn't normally call myself fortunate for getting to preview a new independent film, but I was recently asked to preview Overtime and "fortunate" is exactly what I am. Overtime, written and directed by Louisville, Ky native Matt Niehoff, sets a new standard for independent films everywhere. The bar has been raised, not only for the courageous and beautifully balanced cinematography, nor for the skillful editing alone, but, just as rare in most indie films, it's been raised for the talent owned by several of these mainly untried cast members.The primary cast has a chemistry that sizzles, giving me the same feeling I had watching the brat pack perform together in the 80s. Thankfully, Overtime is no John Hughs film. Instead, the main cast manages to balance the absurdity in and around them with realism, and thus create believability. John Wells is perfectly cast as the ego-centric Max, and his intentionally over-the-top performance shines when countered with Al Snow's convincingly real portrayal of the more reasonable Raeff. Special kudos go, too, to actress Sebrina Siegel, who managed to bring a greater credibility to the film with her very natural delivery of some very un-natural dialogue, and who's impressive performance and genuine movements helped eliminate the possibility of a "comic book" feeling to the movie.It wouldn't feel right without also crediting the soundtrack chosen to accompany this fun-filled ride. Simply well done. Even the highest budget indie films will have difficulty stretching to reach the bars of Overtime.
skye724 Overtime is a popcorn-crunching, belly laughing, jump out of your seat action movie. The movie is a whopping big surprise of a feature film, with the quality of Los Angeles filmmaking and all the fun of a crowd pleaser on steroids.Raph and Max are a couple of suburban buddies collecting a cake, a gift and a clown for Raph's 9-year son's birthday party. Just so happens that their day jobs are hit men, employed by a lawyer who gets really bad guys off the hook, takes their money, and sends Raph and Max to remove them from circulation.From a suburban home to an abandoned warehouse full of zombie aliens, Raph and Max never veer from their real mission: getting the party right by 7:00 pm.Al Snow and John Wells have the perfect chemistry to make Overtime click. Matt Niehoff and Brian Cunningham, the director and DP, make Overtime a romp and a thriller. I saw this film at a Fright Night Film Festival in an overflowing screening room - and that room rocked with cheers and laughter and screams of delight.Gotta see Overtime. I predict it will be the sleeper hit of 2012.
Jimmiblues This movie is epic! I loved it. Bloody good times, funny one liners and all the right stuff to put into a film. great job people hope to see more of your work in the future. I could totally see this in every movie house around the world, and I would have it in my personal DVD collection when it comes out. If you like horror movies your like Overtime. Love sci-fi films this is a movie you must watch. the comedy is flabbergasting! Guns Machince Guns and knifes plus blood splatter who could ask for anything more than death with a gun or a blade from a hit-man. The music during the movie was fast and went with the pace very well. God bless everyone there
