Review of The Night Comes For Us (2018) by Unreelreviews — 06 Nov 2018

The night comes for us is a Netflix original film starring Joe Taslim and Iko Uwais and was instantly on my radar to watch but I was extremely nervous because Netflix films as of late have been pretty bad.

So I didn't know what to expect but after watching the film this for me is definitely one of my favourite martial arts films ever. For 1 the action scenes are brutal, bloody, gory and feel so real, throughout the movie I was constantly gripping my hands and chest because every time someone got punched or kicked, I felt it.

The acting is really good, Iko Uwais plays a different but similar role to what I've seen him in, he's still a complete badass who does amazing stunts and feels completely invincible at times but plays a powerful and intimidating villain.

Joe Taslim is really good as the lead hero and he was also very good in the action scenes. This film is very well passé and keeps the adrenaline going with action scene after action scene. What I really liked about the action scenes in this film was how every action scene that follows from another improves from a choreography stand point and just being bigger and better, we start with 1 v 1 fistfights to car chases and then fighting 50 gangsters in a warehouse with a pair of swords.

One major issue that I did have with the film is that besides Iko and Joe I don't really remember any of the other characters and I didn't really care. But other then that this is a fast passed, violent and brutal action movie with great stunts and this is definitely one of Netflix's best original films maybe even their best one.
