Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Remember that the one who said "I'm your angel Michael, here to protect you" (or something like that) also said "You have to go all the way down, to the pits, hitting rock bottom before you come out of this" (or similar words).He gave Michael an overdose of moral evil, the max being such selfish greed that ... (I won't tell not to spoil it.)What the angel had told Michael said true, he did not lie. And when he saw the positive result at the end of his work with Michael, he went over to the next one in line who needed the same kind of help.Great movie!

I have yet to watch the entire film -- yet. I keep on catching it on Showtime at like 2:00 in the morning. I have Comcast, and I wish that they would just release the damned film on On-Demand, so that I could see it at a reasonable hour (i.e., on MY time, instead of DURING "shadow" hours...):)Anyway, the thing that moved me about the piece was the mood, plain and simple. I love Peter Weller's performance in this flick. He was the only thing that caused me to name a song of my own after the film -- Shadow Hours. I may even title an album of mine using that name (if anyone cares or doesn't know this, you can name a work anything that you want to -- without worrying about "copyright" infringement. Titles are not copyrightable. Period.):)Again -- a worthy viewing. I agree with the most recent submission here -- yes, the story line isn't original, and yes, Michael Mann is a better director than most anyway. I just got a kick out of Weller's character and characterizations.Ciao.Sammy

I'm a tough sell when it comes to contemporary American films, and haveturned almost exclusively to watching foreign films or classics (ie: loved "Night of the Iguana;" admire Hitchcock), but when my 15 year old grabbed "Shadow Hours" off the shelf I thought I'd give it a shot for the sake of mother\daughter movie night. Smart writing (a bloody rare attribute), terrific acting, fabulous score and a film noir look--I was hooked. Loved the jump cut gas station scenes, the crazies, the repetition of certain phrases/themes, the progressive descent into urban madness, and, Oh, Lordy, that Moby piece that tied it together at the end. I've watched it twice, the second time with my husband, who is recommending it to fellow 'good film' afficionados, and so on, and so on...Interesting to read B'zar Getty's bio. Note the tattoos on his hand in the film - they're the real deal.

wasnt a bad film, had a powerful message albeit presented in a often cliche'd form. i especially liked the philosophy of where the devil went wrong with Job....all in all, a good film with solid performances by the leading men.
