This film is not great drama, but it's a good story--It reminded me of a better film, "Ghost Story"--Drunken college students out to have fun, lose control of the situation, without malice,and seemingly cause the death of an outsider, which, in the throes of alcohol and fear, they try to cover up to protect their futures, for after all, the outsider isn't one of them, and becomes objectified--We are not given any information as to their reaction in the intervening years, but when one of them who was arrested that night for stealing a car used in their prank night is released after 8 years and comes a-callin' with a get-back prank, the other three show definite signs of dyspepsia--The prankster gets pranked, and the other three, learning from experience, dump the prankster, who, again, was never really one of them--Of course there are holes in the story, but this is not "Masterpiece Theater"--A curious subtext: The well-heeled trio is led by the poor side of town scholarship kid--Suspend your disbelief--

Couldn't agree more with the first comment. I watched this (apparent) MOW on Lifetime this afternoon not expecting much. Then I was amazed: the plot twists, the MacGuffin (and *how*!), PLUS four character studies better than The Usual Suspects... This is one heck of a film. The real mystery is what motivates the protagonist's anger--it kept me guessing for two hours. (The most obvious explanation seemed to have to do with some socio-economic deprivation and a "to-be-revealed" relationship between him and the small-town hooker.) Without giving anything away to people who haven't watched it yet, this mystery also had unexpected depths. Great, great film. Should have had a theatrical release.

The reason I saw this movie is because it was compared heavily to the movie 'I know what you did last summer'. This being one of my favourite movies I decided to give 'What we did that night' a chance. I have to say this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It may not be a gory movie but it has an amazing plot-line and ending. I kept me guessing right to the end and even then I was suprised by the outcome. Rick Schroder is amazing had plays the evil Henry extremely well. This film is excellent and it is a definite must see.

At first I was disappointed -- I thought it was going to be another take on "I Know What You Did Last Summer." But there was a lot more to it than that...Rick Schroder plays a great bastard, he should get this role more often!
