Review of American Night (2021) by Kenr — 23 Dec 2022

American Night – As Hazy and Bleak as a Blizzard How many more copycat movies can be thrust at us based on other copycat moviemakers works - before everyone runs screaming from the room – or are perhaps the money providers as unintelligent as the movie makers? The writer/director’s name (Alessio Della Valle) of this stinker, may now need to be added to those 'must-avoid' lists. Is this the product that can now be expected to clog up our screens, made by those who grew up watching over-baked Sergio Leone, Tarantino, etc, movies? If so, heaven help society.

With apologies to some, here is a story as superficial as the ‘art’ it’s inspired by. Warhol and Pollack were ‘artists’ selected by the ‘Promote American Art’ Economic Contingent of the CIA, with the sole intention of pushing American art into the Super-High price range of its European counterparts. And, as Big money most assuredly corrupts both art critics and sellers, these ‘deals’ served the purpose by spreading the myth...that’s become today’s blind ‘reality’ (you can fool or buy most of the people most of the time).

This foul, bullet and blood-laden swear fest, drags its way through its own slime to its seemingly interminable conclusion (even at half its 2Hr length this mess would seem overlong) Perhaps some bikie gang members may last the distance, but viewers seeking substance will need to protect their heads by making a U-Turn, before letting this lowly, pseudo-intellect sewage into their lives. Watch the box office returns take a nose dive - It's all grotty style and no substance.
