Les Voleurs de la nuit

Night Raiders starts promising with an intriguing plot but towards the second part of the movie the quality is just tumbling down. It looks like towards the end the writers had a lack of imagination, or were just too lazy to give it a better outcome. So overal I was entertained for a bit more than half of the movie, after that I got bored. The acting is average, some were better than others. Nothing award winning that's for sure. It's too bad because Night Raiders definitely could have been better, the ingredients were there but the execution failed.

The feminist and culturally specific Indigenous focal point in writer and director Danis Goulet's feature debut is admirable, but is muddled, dull and falls short in her attempt to intertwine a dystopian apocalyptic sci-fi story within it.

It started off really interesting and engaging as a apocalyptic sci-fi, but then once the cultural aspect became evident, I quickly lost interest and got bored, right up to the last 5 minutes of the ending. The 101 min runtime felt much longer with the slow pacing. The cinematography was excellent, the directing decent, and the performances quite good. It's a 6/10 from me.

Could have been a great series though. The ending was lack luster and it just needed more umpgh* at the end. It like climaxed on a cliff and just went splat. I don't know what more I wanted though. I guess a happy ending but instead we were left with that weird taste after you drink a diet soda. Overall great movie though and definitely worth watching.

Yes, I know this film is a bit lo-fi, yet the acting leads are superb, the story a bit too believable--especially in terms of recently uncovered nightmares of Indian schools, and the malicious tech right on target. Was there a bit too much left from he editing room intact: YES. But some of these actors probably worked their whole lives to get into a wide-distribution release. I appreciated the film on many levels and would hope other viewers would as well.

There are reviewers who are going to say this movie is dull, boring, mediocre, no thrill or action, are probably just watching the wrong movie. Or at the very least got the wrong idea. While it's true the movie is not filled with action, it does have a decent story. So if you decide to watch the movie just be prepared.
