Hard Night Falling

The acting, the fight scenes and the writing is terrible with that said could this movie have been a hit yes. You would need to get a couple different actors i am sorry but Dolphs fight scenes are awful and slow he can barely move it appears. The story line needs a lot of tweeks first no trained agent who takes a pistol off someone and has fired almost the whole clip leaves rifles and ammo on guys he shot. He would take the weapons and ammo check for ID and also take the radio so he could hear what they were saying. In one scene he rescues a guy there are two rifles and pistols plus who know what else on the guys he had taken down literally at the feet of the guy he rescued. Did they each pick up a weapon ? No did they take a radio ? a Knife, anything at all from these guys ? No i don't know about you but even someone who is not trained with the agency, the military or the police when in danger from armed men are going to grab any weapon they can find. This is lazy writing. I have a half hour left i will not give away any spoilers i will give my whole review when i have seen the rest. Right now 2 stars is fair but depending on the ending that could change. I still believe this could have been a movie worth watching with better writing and casting Dolph could have been it but not as the star action hero those days are gone i am afraid. Watch his fight scenes and tell me i am wrong. Of course the worse action hero of all time is Steven Segal with his one move and fat gut at east Dolph look like he is in good shape and i don't know maybe with a double or better training he could pull of this role all i can do is judge it on what i see.

I'm not sure what Dolph is thinking being in such a terrible movie. It's awful in every way possible, and I thought his last movie I've seen The Tracker was terrible but this was even worse. I could hardly get through this movie but the absurdity of the acting, writing, special fx made me laugh. Dolph should've just retired after Aquaman, seems he's in competition with Steven Seagal of who can make the most bad movies...

Words cannot express how horrible this movie is. Who signs off on it's production? Are they proud of their work? Do they have any concept of shame? There is nothing else to say besides save the 1.5 hours of your life and read a book. In summary, don't waste your time. It is a disaster, very bad acting, very bad camera scenes,very bad movie effects, very bad everything. The voters are probably their friends and neighbors, because u can´t vote more than 2 if u are person with the normal taste for movies.

Why oh why Dolph?....even the trailer is atrocious....check out Dolph's fight scenes.....he's missing the other guy's head by 6 inches......wooden acting....bad script/editing.....the old story rehashed...tough guy loves family...baddies attack family...tough guy saves family....not too sure which is worse Puncture Wounds or this.. .sorry but it's another fail from me

Hard Night Falling (2019) is less action-thriller, more nap-inducing bore. Dolph Lundgren headlines as the tired hero battling burglars and pacing so slow it might reverse time. While Lundgren occasionally brings gravitas, even he can't save a film so lacking in tension, energy, or personality.

The plot-a hostage situation during a heist-borrows liberally from Die Hard but leaves behind the fun, stakes, or sharp pacing. The rest of the cast delivers performances best described as "wooden," while the action sequences fall flat with lifeless choreography and underwhelming direction.

For every stoic moment of Lundgren, the film desperately needed triple the excitement, but instead offers all the thrills of a broken elevator. The glossy visuals and a handful of decent shots suggest effort, but effort isn't enough to make this bargain-bin thriller worth your time. Better to skip this one and rewatch Die Hard.
