Sobreviva a Noite

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.

Let's start with the whole Interpol thing!!! Interpol is one of the oldest, largest and most famous law enforcement agencies in the world. ... The only problem is most of what people think Interpol does is fiction. Its agents aren't allowed to make arrests, don't carry guns, and rarely leave the office.

That's just the start. It gets so much worse! The acting... WTF, when was it okay to not give a dam about a project you are working on!

This is what happens when you watch too many action movies and have lots of resources and you think making an action film is easy peasy! At some point I thought they were practicing or shooting for another film, someone filmed them and released as a movie! What a waste!

It's not like the writers and directors are newbs to allow such plot-hole ridden convoluted and choppy screenplay go to production. Camera work was ok, but Giorgio Bruno failed to direct his cast. Then the lousy editing didn't help either. The score was also atrocious. Cinematography, production values and casting was decent. Good to see Natalie Burn and her usual hotness from her last film Acceleration where she looked like Criss Angel lol. Nevertheless, I've seen much worse B films, and Lundgren was good in this one and some decent action scenes. Acceleration was better imo, but I still saw this one to the end and never fell asleep, so it's a generous 5/10 from me.

Yikes, another dud for Dolph. This plot has been done to death, by every wannabe action star and it still sucks. The plot is overdone, the dialogue is boring and the acting marginal. He was a terrible actor in his prime and it seems that he hasn't improved - so really practice does not at all make perfect.
