The Review: The Night Comes For Us



The Night Comes For Us 8/10

This movie The Night Comes For Us was suggested to me by Parker. This should have been called Violence: The Movie, because, holy shit. This is one of the most violent films I have ever seen. You know that scene in John Wick 3 when he slowly stabs that guy through the eye with a knife? That is soft as baby shit compared to what happens in this film. This is a two hour fight with a few scenes explaining the past history these characters have with one another. I'm not complaining. A story would have gotten in the way of all the violence. If you have a weak stomach you absolutely should not watch this because they show the stuff that a lot of other movies cut away from or wouldn't dare to show unless they are, like, vikings or some shit. People watch violent stuff easier when everyone is wearing furs and use swords.


I should probably talk about the plot. This hardcore ass enforcer for a group of bad folks decides one day to turn on all of them and save this little girl. One of his friends is running things in his own way. The bad group comes at dude using all manner of killers. They using guns, machetes, knives, sharp rope. Whatever the fuck. Dude is not just chilling and waiting to be attacked. He walks into whole ass rooms of people and beats them with everything in the room including pool cues! The last half hour is just pure violence. Just when I didn't think I could gasp or clutch my pearls anymore because I started to sadly get used to seeing people get sliced open they would do some more fucked up thing that I had never seen before. I also found out that this director also did Headshot. This movie was fucking crazy.
