Les Voleurs de la nuit

This not the worst movie I've seen. So anyone throwing a 1 or a 2 at it is likely taking themselves a little too seriously. Likewise, it is not great or maybe even good so anyone throwing a 6 or more is invested in the movie's success or else just tolerates mediocre much better than I do.

This is not a lot of action. Not a lot of thriller. And the only real sci-fi does not make a lot of sense. You will likely have a hard time actually caring about the characters and an even harder time remaining interested in the outcome. And then when it happens you'll wish it hadn't because you will realize your investment in the payoff didn't earn much.

Other than that though, excellent movie. Watch it yourself if you don't believe me.

This is not a complete waste of time, howevver, there are better ways to use this time(wash dishes, fold clothes, look at moonlight), all of which may be less boring.

The initial story is interesting, especially for those who watched Children of Men, which is absolutely fantastic. That movie had some action, some thriller, story drama, compelling ending, great acting and you cared about the characters. This one has interesting concept, decent acting and.......nothing else. It appears the director is the writer who had an idea but needed someone else flesh out the story. It is extremely boring, you never really care what happens to anyone, and a tacked-on afterthought as an ending.

It did do one thing...made me go rewatch Children of Men.

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.
