Evaluate the drafted changes
I found this article to be fairly strong as-is, seeing as how it has been rated as 'C-Class'. I don't think your edit of the Lead is necessary because it actually removes information rather than compounding on it. The sentence "McKellar wrote the screenplay about what ordinary people do when an unstated imminent global catastrophic event happens." reads sort-of awkwardly compared to the original, and mostly what you changed within the lead was just the orientation of the words.

As for your edits with plot to further expand them, you've done this well, but you need to heavily cut back on the word-count. This is a response I received from two wikipedia staff, when working on my article;

"The plot summary is overly long and detailed. We allow plot summaries of about 700 words with no other source given than the film itself. Be careful not to interpret into events on screen things that amount to synthesis; stick to what the film actually shows."

I ran your revised Plot section through a WordCounter and found you had about 1200~ words, so just like me, you'll have to make some significant edits. Try combining scenes that may not be all that relevant to the wikipedia article.

For the Cast section, you've done a good job adding more people into the list, but this section should only be for relevant characters. Unless 'Streetcar mother & daughter' play a critical role in the film or are otherwise namely, I'd recommend cutting them. I also think the background information, while helpful, is unnecessary and doesn't belong within the Cast section.

I like the alterations you've made to Development but you have quite a few writing errors. I think you should go back through the writing and double-check for any mis-spellings or grammatical errors.

Your References are original and are great selections, but you need to format them into Wikipedia's code so that way it can link to where you found it, in case people would like to know more. If you go into the 'Edit Source' of the Wikipedia page which already exists for 'Last Night (1998 film)', You can just copy the coding they have there.

My advice to you would be to pull up another similar Wikipedia article with a higher rating, and to see what you could do to further benefit your selected article. When working on my article, I used Creature from the Black Lagoon as a template, which helped me structure my own project. It would also help if you could find any other unlisted sources, but as this article seems to have been covered fairly extensively.
