The Night Crew

Well, I can't exactly claim that I was harboring any great expectations to the 2015 action thriller "The Night Crew", but I still opted to watch it on the account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen.

And yeah, I will say that the synopsis did sound interesting enough to catch my attention.

However, writers Paul Sloan and Christian Sesma only managed to put together a somewhat bland and mediocre movie here. The storyline is straight forward and very easy to follow, I will give them that much. But it is so simplistic that there almost is no plot really. So you can essentially start the movie, watch for a bit, then leave and come back later and still be up to speed with the events in the movie.

There are some familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Luke Goss, Danny Trejo, Bokeem Woodbine, Jason Mewes, Christine Nguyen and Don Swayze. The acting in the movie was actually fair enough, and you know what you get from these particular actors and actresses.

Visually then "The Night Crew" was adequate. I mean, it is not a movie that makes use of a lot of special effects, so you're not going to find yourself in for an amazing display of special effects. However, whatever effects were used actually served the movie well enough.

All in all, then director Christian Sesma put together a movie that was watchable enough for what it was, though you shouldn't expect a grand cinematic experience here. And while I did managed to sit through all 92 minutes it ran for, I only found myself semi-entertained. This is, however, not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.

My rating of "The Night Crew" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"The Night Crew" (2015) is enjoyable low budget action flick with some nice twist. It's nothing original or exciting, but it is very watchable and can be even enjoyable, if you will lower your expectations first. The plot is simple but there is one nice bloody twist which i won't spoil. There are some gory scenes and it's kinda bloody picture, but it's not to bloody or disgusting. Acting was OK, nothing special although i liked performance by Chasty Ballesteros - she looks sexy and she gave probably the best performance in this movie - so it's a double win for viewer :)

Overall, "The Night Crew" (or better known as a "Blackwater") is a B action flick with some intriguing twist. If you skip it, you won't going to regret it or loose anything, but it worth a look on a boring evening.

I mean it's another one of Danny Trejo's more indie like movies similar to Machete but if your into action flicks this one is definitely worth giving a watch. The ending has a serious twist that you may or may not see coming (I didn't). The acting isn't the most spectacular, but c'mon it's a low budget action movie and you get what you pay for.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, if you like the Machete series then I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy this. The plot revolves around a women connected to some big time cartel boss whom bounty hunters quasi-kidnap to take across the border for their bounty. Things don't necessarily go as planned and they maybe don't know enough about their bounty and or mission beforehand to accurately assess the situation and prepare accordingly. That's pretty much all you'll need to know, from there on its non stop firefights and fisticuffs with a little twist at the end.

Not sure why the low reviews but this is actually a decent action flick. I wouldn't pay for it but if you can find it for free, it's worth a watch. A lot of action.

This little low budget flick was a surprise,it was action packed with a gritty look & bursts of brutal violence & a cool little team of Bounty hunters against the Mexican Cartel stoty.

The first thing that grabbed my attention with this film was how good it's directed,it's made really well & looks like most bigger budget cinema films such as Schwarzenegger's Sabotage or Stallone's Expendables films,this tiny budget movie looks like those types in how it's filmed & put on screen. The team of good guy bounty hunters are a cool bunch made up of the tough team leader played by B-movie action star Luke Goss who has made loads of these types of straight to dvd action films but he's actually good,i mean he's no Statham or van damme but he's still pretty cool & we have another cool guy who has been in tons of movies & that's Bokeem Woodbine, he's a cool dude on Luke's team & another ripped-up guy who I've never seen before & a kick-ass very tough lady who i don't know but she's very good in her role.

This is a cool little gem because it's so unpredictable,i could not work out what was gonna happen next or who would survive!!! A big thumbs up for how well it keeps you guessing & on the edge of the seat lol it gets very intense at times.

There's also a nice mystery mixed in with the action crime story of this & that's all to do with the Cult B-movie legend Danny Trejo who is the leader of the cartel & a lady who is on the run from him called mae who is the bounty hunters mission to get her accross the border.

This action Thriller is very well made & way above other straight to dvd films with it's direction,Acting,suspense & excitement!!! It's a crime siege Thriller with a dark creepy mystery mixed into all the Action, easy watching fun.
