Movie Reviews of Judgment Night
Movie Review: Great Film I Lucked Up On One Night
Summary: 4 Stars
Judgment Night is one of those films you may not find unless you're watching USA after one a.m. or if you're on a late night cruise at a cheap video store. Nevertheless you get your money and time's worth with this gem, proving that you don't need huge stars to make a film exciting.When this was filmed in 1993 Emilio Estevez was the biggest star of these four. Since then Stephen Dorff, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denis Leary have all become famed feature film stars. I saw this film about eight years ago. Believe me it is one of those films you can watch ten times in a row so buying the DVD is a must! This is a thriller, comedy and action adventure all rolled into one. I was glad the filmmakers didn't throw in an unneeded romance or unneeded nudity. This is just a straight to the point picture about some homeboys crusing around at night, getting into trouble. And who hasn't been there right? The acting is energetic and high-paced. No one in the film lets you down. Judgment Night is like a ride on a roller coaster while you're drunk...it's frightening, uninhabited and incredibly sponatenous all wrapped in one. All I can say is if you like GOOD movies then you need to have this film in your collection. This is one buddy flick no one, male or female should miss. Have fun watching four hot babes running for their lives!
Movie Review: Denis Leary Is the Man. Intelligent Flick.
Summary: 4 Stars
Viewed: 9/10
Rate: 8
9/10: During its release in VHS tape, Judgment Night, as I saw and felt, was an underrated piece of work. There was so much that I liked about it: the suspense, the feeling of helplessness, and the dichotomy of the men that made me to see a big chasm of differences. Viewing it again recently has confirmed my statements. It's still an underrated piece of work. The acting by everybody is well-done, and of course, the film can be unintentionally funny at times. However, it is a very crafty intelligent thriller that will keep the audience on their toes. Denis Leary is probably the best part about Judgment Night, and he is effective for his character. Everybody was very good and campy at the same time; they managed to infuse an opulence of energy to the picture. The director of Judgment Night, Stephen Hopkins had made mostly awful pictures, but this time, he finally got it right. Looking at the exteriors of the desolated wasteland, it did look to me like Camden of New Jersey. I just liked how realistic the movie feels, and I could really feel for the out-of-place characters. It did make sense. All in all, Judgment Night is worth watching.
Movie Review: An early 90's suspense thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
Judgement Night is refreshing to return to after all these years. The film features a great cast and has a plausible story line. Four friends take a motor home to a prize fight only to find themselves stuck in freeway gridlock on the way there. They decide to take a shortcut through the projects, only to find themselves in an industrial wasteland of crime and darkness whose inhabitants threaten their very lives. The film has plenty of action and rolls at a good, adventurous pace, giving the viewer time to see the places these four friends are currently in within their own personal lives, while dealing with the carnage that is in their face in the present. Overall one of the lesser known but better films of it's kind from the early 90's. Denis Leary is excellent as a low tier crime boss and Cuba Gooding Jr's character is brilliant as we see him almost go over the edge.Movie Review: Chicago's Own
Summary: 4 Stars
A lot of action movies that came out in the early 90's are remembered for stupid one-liners and explosions. Judgment Night is a movie that doesn't have any of that, sure there is a fire in the movie, okay. One fire. The movie is about a do-or-die situation that tests the bounds of a core group of friends... Who will be the one to make a stand? It's a movie shot in Chicago... Back in the early 90's, it was a different place, which makes this a period piece. Dare I say it?
BOTTOM LINE: This movie is a good time, Dennis Leary has many great moments as the bad guy. If you thought the Cubs/Sox feud was intense, imagine a bunch of North-shore dudes facing off against the grime of Leary's Southsiders! The question you should be asking is... does Cuba cry in this movie like he does in ALL of his movies?... This is the Swingers of action movies.
Movie Review: They really should have called this One Bad Night! or Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
Summary: 4 Stars
This is definitely an underated film starring Cuba,Estevez,Piven,the young bad guy from queen of the damned and the man himself, Denis Leary. These guys make the biggest mistake of their lives and take a wrong turn.Literally. It starts out with going to a game in an RV and they decide to get off the freeway, end up in nowheres land right into the hands of the worst thugs you could ever meet. The thugs of course wanted a guy who owed them money, who happened to have walked in front of the RV. Thugs catch up and shoot him and the boys witness it all and become victims of circumstance. The night seemed like it would never end because they were always trying to get away. Definitely definitely not something you want to happen to you! This is scarrier than horror movies. Why? because its reality!
