The film you're thinking of is "Late Shift (Review)," an innovative interactive thriller released in 2016. This unique cinematic experience puts the audience directly in control of the narrative, making crucial decisions for the protagonist, Matt. As a mathematics student unexpectedly embroiled in a high-stakes London heist, Matt's fate rests entirely on the choices made by the viewers.
"Late Shift" distinguishes itself as one of the world's first cinematic interactive movies, seamlessly blending elements of film and gaming. Viewers, whether watching in a theater or via an app, are presented with choices at key moments, often with only a few seconds to decide Matt's next move. These choices dictate the progression of the story, leading Matt through a complex web of consequences after he is forced into the robbery of a lucrative auction house.
Developed by the Swiss start-up CtrlMovie and co-written by Michael Robert Johnson, known for his work on Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes," the film was shot with a significant amount of extra footage—roughly three times that of a conventional movie—to accommodate its extensive branching storylines. This intricate design allows for over 180 decision points and culminates in one of seven distinct endings, ensuring that each viewing can be a different experience. The film's ambition lies in its ability to offer a truly personalized narrative, where the audience's moral compass and strategic thinking directly influence Matt's journey and the ultimate outcome of the thrilling heist.
