'Night Shift' is a fairly messy approach to what should otherwise be a very focused and minimalist film. Let down by wanting to cover too much - and not realising where the strengths of the film lie - results in an unfortunately forgetful and unsympathetic exploration. Whilst it's held together with expert acting and a fascinating premise, its full promise is never realised, and I can't help but think that the novel may be a better use of time.
