Waiting on Alphie

About Alphonso Conte

Our movie starts at the beginning of an overnight standoff between Alphie and Gus in a New York café. Gus, flown in from Chicago, on an anonymous job, awaits the order from a nearby payphone to kill Alphie or let him live. With nowhere to go and nothing to do, they are in a standoff that turns minutes to hours. As today becomes tomorrow, the two find themselves discussing life, society, food -- and a secret from their past that comes crashing down.

While we wait all night for the call, we are "entertained" by the Waiter on duty who feeds Gus and Alphie appetizers (and one-liners) ... we are treated to a reunion of Alphie and his ex in a (needless to say) uncomfortable meeting.

Then, an even more uncomfortable moment occurs when two police officers enter the café for a to-go order. Finally, in a dynamic on-screen moment a Robber enters the setting to bring the movie to a violent climax.

"Waiting on Alphie" documents what happens when two men face-off while fighting sleep and fighting to keep their patience ... with each other.
