Good work Chris Evans.

I honestly adore almost everything about this film, ad I'm surprised to be saying that since I had NO EXPECTATIONS going in.

Alice Eve is simultaneously charming and troubled, and allows you to quickly delve into her character, who bounces perfectly off of Evans'. She has a roughness to herself here that prevents her from being a generic love interest, and I really appreciated that. Chris Evans though is the highlight of this film; for two reasons. Firstly, his acting is stellar here; as he plays his usual charming role but with a more sorrowful, thoughtful approach. This lets him make you fall for him as Eve does, but also appreciate his sly smugness. Secondly because I've always wanted to see one of his directorial efforts, and I wasn't disappointed. The film oozes stylistically, editing-wise and has a strong flair for character and emotion; and you can tell Evans had a heavy hand in this!

Music choices and their scarcity were honestly perfect. The tone was mellow but tense. The length was great. Some parts drag but in a good way (if that even makes sense?). And the idea to show this pair meet and become closer over what is almost real-time was a perfect choice for this story! I know its obviously already been done before, but I think it was done particularly well here, as development happens organically.

Oh my god, and that ending! Freaking perfect! I loved it!

I'm surprised to be giving this such a high score, and it might only be this high because of my initial feelings. But at the time of writing this; I honestly can't recommend this enough! Do yourself a favour and indulge in this perfectly cheesy and touching tale of love and self-discovery. I'm sure you won't regret it...

Easy to criticize, but done with great compassion

To bash this movie as a "Before Sunrise" knockoff is easy, and maybe even somewhat true. But at the same time it would be missing the point.

Yes Chris Evans' directorial debut is also about two characters who experience a chance meeting and spend a night together. But "Before We Go" is if anything about adult choices and confronting their consequences. The exuberance of romantic love that is part of Richard Linklater's 1995 masterpiece is merely the starting point here. Nick (Chris Evans) and Brooke (Alice Eve) are beyond their college years and try to make amends with elements of their past.

The strolling poetry of "Before Sunrise" is turned into an odyssey that throws the couple into various directions. Kismet is of course the essence of the story and it has to be said that the screenplay sometimes struggles with the very basic conceit of a night in New York. But...there are a few scenes that are spellbindingly played by the two wonderful leads and a few truths about love and heartbreak are uttered that remain very real.

It could also be said that the movie delves into certain elements of "Before Midnight", even though it never reaches the depth of that movie either.

Yet "Before We Go" merits a viewing for those introspective souls who put their faith in destiny while being sometimes at odds with their journey.

Cap has gone soft

Greetings again from the darkness. Many people (not me) were (and still are) enthralled by Richard Linklater's "Before" trilogy (Sunrise, Sunset, Midnight). Because of this, it's not shocking that a very similar type story would be set on the streets of New York City. However, you might be surprised to learn that Captain America himself, actor Chris Evans, has taken this on as his directorial debut.

Mr. Evans also stars alongside Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), as they saunter their way through the city during the late night and early morning hours. In a borderline meet-cute opening, Nick (Evans) is tooting his trumpet in Grand Central Station when a frazzled Brooke (Eve) goes sprinting by and drops her cell phone. Brooke, of course, misses her train and Nick returns the phone fragments to her. He learns her purse was stolen and she lacks cash, credit and ID. Being a gentleman, he offers to help.

The cynic in me couldn't help but wonder how helpful this gentleman would have been had the stressed out woman not been a world class beauty. Seriously, why do the all-night wanderers look like Chris Evans and Alice Eve, or Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy? Why don't they look like those people on the "Wal-Mart" YouTube videos? The film unfolds like a road trip movie … although it all takes place within a few city blocks. Each little segment is like a vignette, attached with string to the overall goal of getting Brooke back to her New Haven home before her husband arrives. See, both of our heroes are running from emotional and relationship turmoil … Brooke is avoiding a confrontation with her less-than-perfect husband, while Nick wants to/doesn't want to see his 6 years ago girlfriend (Emma Fitzpatrick). He came to the city for the trumpet audition of his life, but his internal battle is over whether to see his old flame … all while subtlety trying to win over Brooke. Yep, it's as lame and ridiculous as it sounds.

A brief stop for a psychic reading is a highlight, if for no other reason than we get relief from the flirting, fighting, and philosophizing of Brooke and Nick in the form of veteran actor John Cullum – a little bit psychic and a little bit elder wisdom. The film does have a nice look to it - the city alternates between dreamy, dangerous and hardcore. Unfortunately, the overused shaky-cam has a negative impact on many intimate scenes, and prevents us from enjoying the colors, lights and textures of the city. Editing out the sprinkled profanities would make this an easy fit for Hallmark or the Lifetime channel. It's harmless enough, just not as charming or romantic as it tries to be.
