The Last Shift – Watch Richard Jenkins and Shane Paul McGhie in the latest trailer for new drama

The Last Shift is an American story about two men struggling in the same town, while worlds apart. Stanley (Richard Jenkins), an ageing fast-food worker, plans to call it quits after 38 years on the graveyard shift at Oscar’s Chicken and Fish. His last weekend takes a turn while training his replacement, Jevon (Shane Paul McGhie), a talented but stalled young writer whose provocative politics keep landing him in trouble. These two who share little in common are brought together through circumstance. Stanley, a high school dropout who has watched life pass by his drive-through window, proudly details the nuances of the job. While Jevon, a columnist who’s too smart to be flipping patties, contends their labour is being exploited. A flicker of comradery sparks during the long overnight hours in a quiet kitchen.

Directed by Andrew Cohn, the film stars Richard Jenkins, Shane Paul McGhie, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Birgundi Baker, Allison Tolman, and Ed O’Neill.

The Last Shift will open only at cinemas across the UK on November 13.
