Excellent Film! Delicious Chris Evans offers us yummy acting and tasty directing in this feature about two people learning about the realities of love and friendship (and money)! Chris Evans' character Nick is down-to-Earth; witty; whimsical; and caring and it all seemed to unfold naturally for Mr. Evans. Beautiful Alice Eve's performance was wonderful! Her character Brooke was genuine, complex, easy for many to relate to, and lovable. Both Chris Evans and Alice Eve were perfectly matched, for both their characters and one another. I was shocked when I learned, at the end, that Chris Evans directed the whole thing. Cheers to Chris! I like the focus on the characters' faces; I liked the mood that was maintained throughout the film; and I like the light-hearted approach to two complex characters faced with the complexities of love, emotions, friendship, and money. The film kept my attention until the end. I am waiting for Chris Evans to direct again. I am waiting for Before We Go 2, hoping that Nick and Brooke find one another and again find true friendship, true love.

> One night adventure with a stranger! In his 15 year old acting career it was the Chris Evan's first direction. Many actors had tried that and only a few had succeeded, but some of them just preferred a low cost, simple project to avoid a major disaster. He also produced it and acted alongside the British actress Alice Eve. The film was a one night event based theme which begins when a young woman misses her train, and later forced to spend the night with a stranger after her purse got stolen. During lots of time left for the next train, theirs little adventure begins as they embark around the city. This is really a solid film. Well written screenplay and performed with a beautiful night adventure in the city that never sleeps. The problem with me was, I had seen many similar flicks, so this one looked okay, in a good way, but not that awesome. Still a fine film and definitely highly recommend others who like drama-romance. The plus point was the actors, the chemistry was brilliant. The story was very good, yet like I said it was so simple. It was not just two who meet and develop a friendship or a relationship, but they both reveal their story behind their visit to the city. At f
