Good Time

In the restless neon haze of New York City, a desperate night begins when a poorly timed heist spirals out of control. Constantine Nikas, a quick‑tempered but fiercely protective older brother, finds himself rushing against the clock to keep his sibling from a looming, unforgiving fate. The city itself feels like a living organism—its cramped subways, dimly lit alleys, and buzzing streetlights forming a jagged map that mirrors the frantic urgency of his mission.

The film’s tone walks a razor’s edge between restless energy and gritty realism, letting the pulse of the metropolis drive every heartbeat. Nick, who lives with a developmental disability, is both a source of unguarded vulnerability and a catalyst for Constantine’s relentless drive. Their bond is raw and urgent, illuminating a world where love and responsibility bleed into each other, and where moral lines blur under the pressure of survival. The night’s chase unfolds like a feverish dream, blending frantic improvisation with moments of uneasy calm.

As the darkness deepens, the city’s underbelly—its hidden corners, eclectic characters, and omnipresent police presence—becomes a labyrinth that Constantine must navigate. The atmosphere is saturated with tension, a mix of kinetic chase sequences and stark, intimate encounters that reveal the characters’ inner turmoil. The audience is pulled into a frantic odyssey that feels both personal and universal, a high‑stakes race against time that asks how far one will go when the only thing left to lose is hope itself.
