Five O'Clock

An unassuming office worker is lead to believe that something important will happen at 5 o'clock, through some strange encounters with his colleagues. I nearly pissed myself at the end of this film. Wow. Amazing and hilarious way to end. Unfortunately I didn't really get the thriller aspect of this - the eroticism however was certainly in your face, and managed to be funny without being inappropriate. Maybe I'm confused about what an erotic thriller is supposed to be, but this film didn't seem to fit the brief. However, the story that did end up being told was well-structured and incorporated numerous characters without suffocating the film or diminishing the importance of the lead character. The lead proved an effective vehicle for moving the story along and creating the encounters with the strange colleagues, which is what made this film. The ensemble cast did a good job of making this a solid comedy. The cinematography and editing were done well, with a neatly put-together sequence of flashbacks before the end. Despite liking this film, I feel like I can't rate it any higher because I feel like it didn't stick to the genre well enough. Sorry! 5/10
