Director: Jason Park
Midnight is the deadline, a dying stranger is the trigger, and a pizza delivery route becomes a citywide scramble in Pizza Boy Rick, a scrappy 2024 action-comedy from director Jason Park.
What is Pizza Boy Rick about?
Rick spends his nights on the low end of the gig economy, dropping off pizzas for tips that barely cover gas money. His routine breaks apart when a delivery leads him to a man who won't survive the night — and who hands Rick a mystery instead of a receipt. Racing against a midnight clock, Rick has to decode a series of clues scattered across town, each stop pulling him further into a game built by people with far higher stakes than a pizza tip. Director Jason Park keeps the frame moving fast, treating the city itself like an obstacle course of diners, alleys, and neon storefronts, while leaning into the inherent absurdity of an underpaid delivery driver suddenly holding the fate of a late-night conspiracy in his hands.
Cast & crew
Jason Park directs and takes the lead role of Rick, anchoring the film's mix of scrappy comic timing and physical chase sequences. He's joined by Brice Anthony Heller, Christopher Deon, Chris Jeffreys, Haley Hammonds, and Madison Oakley, filling out the night's cast of eccentric strangers Rick collides with along his route.
Context & significance
Pizza Boy Rick belongs to a lineage of lean, low-budget action-comedies built around a single ticking-clock premise and a hero who's decidedly out of his depth — closer in spirit to a midnight-movie chase than a polished studio thriller. Its 80-minute runtime keeps the pace tight, with the film moving from one clue to the next without much room to slow down, favoring momentum and gags over elaborate plotting.
