Noche en el paraíso

I almost skipped this movie because of the 5.8 stars (at the time of this review). But something clicked inside me when I watched the trailer. I have no idea idea why some people rated this movie so low. It's not a masterpiece, but definitely deserves some credit.

Nice acting, great cinematography, great music. I liked the dark tone from the start. I really liked some conversations. Some of them were surreal and it actually worked nicely.

Not much else to add here. Just don't expect non-stop action. For me, its main selling point was the dramatic scenes and I got what I expected from this movie. But I have to admit, the final scene is amazing. You'll know what I mean when you watch it!

I desperately guessed that the best Korean crime flicks were history, after the terrific wave of the early 2000's: bloody, gritty, brutal and so moving in the same time. I won't repeat the list, there were too many of them. And since several years now, we had to puke watching so many craps, more than the Hollywood garbage junks, with plenty of action and those damn F...HAPPY ENDINGS that I neraly forgot what the korean film industry was. But now, I can breath again. This film is a real hit in the groin. Awesome. I spent one hour sending mails to my friends, ordering them not to miss this jewell, at any cost. I will continue the whole day.

Inspite of the film's lengthy runtime, i never felt bore. The film is indeed very different from ur regular gangster movie.

Night In Paradise is yet another good movie coming from South Korea. This country releases good movies over and over again. Not every Asian country does that but South Korea is definitely the best Asian country when it's about quality movies. No overacting here, all solid performances from the entire cast. You have to be able to indulge some violence though, hardcore violence, the Clockwork Orange kind, the ultra violence. It can be very bloody and violent but it's a mob movie so what else do you expect? It was all very well directed, great cinematography as well. I'm not surprised anymore when it comes from South Korea. In fact I search for those little gems now coming from there. The list is too long with solid movies from there. Night In Paradise is a long movie but it never fails to entertain, from beginning till the end.

Amazing writing, directing, cinematography. Will definitely win awards at the end of this year. I'd put it down as one of the best movies since 2020 started.

My girlfriend and I gave it a standing ovation in our bedroom.

READ: If you are too lazy to read subtitles, any films other than those of your native language are NOT for you. It changes the whole dynamic/experience. I wouldn't dare to hear some crappy voiceovers on a masterpiece such as this. Any low reviews you see are the pawns who watched it dubbed, which shouldn't ever be done to any movie, in any language.
