Hard Night Falling

We watched this not expecting cinematography brilliance, but simple non-cerebral entertainment. But it was so bad. It looked as if Dolph either has severe body damage and constant pain, restricting his movement, or he just didn't give a damn about a modicum of realism. When sneaking up on the bad guys he makes no effort to achieve stealth; he just walks around! He doesn't hide but still doesn't get hit by lots of automated weapons fire then offloads a couple of pistol rounds and the bad guys fall around dying. There is no blood when bad guys are stabbed and bodies dragged away. It is just as if no one cared about any pretense of realism. We laughed most of the way through this movie. But, hey, I guess that counts as some form of entertainment.

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.

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!

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!
