TLDR
Alternatively, the visual dissertation of the numerous ways to tear flesh and bone on screen.
What it's about
Remorseful over a village massacre, crime enforcer Ito sets out to rescue Reina from his Triad crime family, the Six Seas, leading the two of them to be on the run.
The take
It’s not easy to turn away from organized crime. On top of having to reckon with what you’ve done and what reparations you have to make for the survivors, you also have to deal with everyone out to kill you. This is a familiar premise, of course, but writer-director Timo Tjahjanto takes it as an excuse to create some of the bloodiest and most action-packed sequences ever created, all stitched together in The Night Comes for Us. It’s a fairly thin martial arts crime thriller, but it’s wildly entertaining. With every skull crushed and gallons of blood spurted, Tjahjanto goes nuts with his ever creative, violent spectacles that action fans must watch, if they can stomach the gore.
What stands out
We already raved about the action sequences, so it's obvious that that stands out but we want to also send some love to the effects team that makes the blood and the guts look great.
