Los jueces de la noche

This film is awesome, and Emilio Estevez and Dennis Leary excel as the two lead roles in the film, but one can not help but notice how many times this movie has been done before. However, this is a much better entry in the "running and hiding to save your life" subgenre of thrillers. Basically, if you liked "Run", "The Warriors", or "The Running Man" you'll probably enjoy this one too.

This movie was on late one night and I watched it due to the fact that Cuba Gooding Jr., Emilio Esteves and Stephen Dorf was in it. What emerged was a surprisingly good thriller great acting And the plot was quite good. Also Dennis Leary was a standout as the ruthless gangster.

All in all ****1/2 out of *****

This movie is actually pretty decent. I liked all the characters, even Jeremy Piven, who was kind of a dick in this. The story focuses on these four friends who get lost on a way to a game in a bad neighborhood. They happen upon a gang of drug-dealers (led by Denis Leary), and witness something horrible so Leary decides he can't let them escape. From their the movie is pure suspense, with the guys trying to escape the gangsters. Some very good scenes, one which involves them hiding in a train, having to bribe the hobos to keep quiet. A lot of action, some good acting, and constantly keeps moving. I give this movie a solid 6/10, because there were a few things that bothered me, but I won't go into this for the sake of not ruining the film.

Judgment Night is pure 90's action escapism, from a time when the genre had a slick, nihilistic atmosphere. It's one of those 'night from hell' chase films that takes a group of naive, childish suburban dudes and throws the, into the heart of an urban hellhole, pursued by a rabid pack of howling hyena like scumbag criminals through a chaotic nightscape filled with an army of babbling homeless loons, endless labyrinthine project buildings, and seemingly no way out. Emilio Estevez plays a family man who decides to take his hapless brother (Stephen Dorff), his buddy Cuba Gooding Jr., and their letcherous lawyer friend (Jeremy Piven), for a night out in the big city to, see the basketball game, in his giant obnoxious Winnebago. As soon as they enter the old smoke, trouble begins to brew. They witness a terrified fleeing bum get murdered by vicious street thug Fallon (Denis Leary), and his dangerous, leering crew. They themselves become witnesses and are forced to run through a hostile, unfamiliar environment for there lives, pursued by these determined, nefarious psychos. It's a simple enough premise elevated by excellent choice of locations and a well done aura of urban decay and inner city disorder, presided over by goons and gargoyles. Leary is a razor tongued prick, relishing every moment of whiplash violence and aggression. Peter Greene is solid as his second in command. The film has a rowdy, animalistic energy to it and is a good watch for the AM hours when you're a little wired and looking for something to light a fire under your ass.

Judgment Night was on TV last night, i began watching it and it had to be one of the most gripping movies ive ever seen. The movie starts off with 4 friends in their 20's taking a luxury van out to watch a boxing match, them being stuck in traffic decide to take a turn into a bad,bad neighbourhood.After this, the movie is in non stop suspence for one whole hour,with terrific acting and a very good script, Judgment night had to me one of my all time favourite action movies of all time. Although predictable at times, that didnt leave this film from being a top notch action/thriller. Although some of the scenes simply arent believable you just cant help notice how great the whole casts acting is,especially a top performance by Emilio Esetevez and Cuba Gooding, Jr. A Glitch with this movie is it starts to get downhill pretty much from an hour into the movie, the plot gets less believable and it just turns into too much.The ending was pretty simple. Cinematography was awesome in this flick, great camera angles and dark scenes. I simply ask for you to watch this, many says it copies many other films, i couldnt care less, Judgment night had to be one of the greatest action sequences ive ever seen, i definantley reccomend you watch it despite its predictibility,unbelievable scenes and stretched out plot.
