On Time

About This Movie

So, "On Time" is a quirky little comedy from '87 that dives into the frenetic life of a bicycle messenger in New York City, named Jimmy. The atmosphere is full of that late 80s charm—colorful, chaotic, and just the right amount of absurdity. The pacing is quick, reflecting Jimmy's urgent mission to deliver a package 'on time,' but it also allows for some fun character moments. There’s a certain rawness to the practical effects that ground it in reality, especially amidst the slapstick mishaps. You can see hints of the director's style even if they remain unknown. It's a bit of a time capsule of its era that just has this unique vibe, you know? Not like the slick productions today.
