The Last Shift (2020)



Released September 25th in the US.
Filmed in Chicago.
The story: Stanley has been a dedicated, honest employee of the slow-paced , fast-food chain Oscar's Chicken and Fish for the last 38 years.
He will be retiring next Tuesday. He will also be training the new employee during his last weekend for the graveyard shift.
Jevon is a young man, who has recently done time for defacing a monument.
He is a bright guy, who is good at and enjoys writing. He is also the father of one young son.
Jevon's parole requires him to either get a job or attend college.
He believes college is a waste of time for him, as he already knows how to write. 
So, working will pay the bills...
After applying for many jobs, Jevon is hired at Oscars.
Stanley quickly begins to teach Jevon the ropes and Jevon learns a lot from him.
But when Stanley asks his boss for his check before he is completely done training Jevon, and she gives him a hard time about it, Stanley loses his regular, easy-going cool.
