La nuit se traîne

I was surprised with this one.

Tons of action, unpredictable story, the twists are well written, acting is impressive, better than anticipated, good storyline, gets going right out of the gate, heartwarming, gut wrenching and an overall,a good flick. I would watch it again, not something I do with most movies. I'd recommend this one to most although the level of violence is pretty intense at times, so it's not for "everyone."

I wouldn't say the story is entirely original, however I haven't seen the same plot that I can recall, but have seen movies with the same general storyline but there's no stealing of ideas and the filming and location was stimulating as the area was entirely foreign to me personally.

Night Call is a taut, well-shot, well-acted action thriller that's also the first feature film by Belgian director Michiel Blanchart. It's honestly hard to believe that it's his first film-this carries the tension of a Safdie Brothers thriller, and the action is slick, realistic, and superbly executed (fully taking place at night). Blanchart cites Duel, Training Day, and Collateral as inspirations. For an actioner, Night Call also deserves praise for actually bothering to develop its lead characters (and their respective arcs) and set it against the backdrop of a BLM protest. Great performances from its core cast-Jonathan Feltre (Mady), Natacha Krief (Claire), Jonas Bloquet (Theo), and Romain Duris (Yannick). There are some clichés too, such as the "big bad villain in a suit", a car chase that ends in a crash, etcetera. But that doesn't stop it from being one of the most impressive directorial debuts in recent times.

I liked the acting especially from the guy who played the main character but the ending fell flat and was very unsatisfying. The story itself had it's moments however, there were too many situations where the main character made silly or very bad decisions or where the scenes felt too "convenient" for the sake of pushing the story along. I. E. The scene with Theo and Mady in the car with the female activist or the club scene. This film had a lot of potential but the execution was basic and ok. It didn't leave a lasting impression on me. The actors were great. I just wish their talents were displayed in a better script. The guy who played "Mady" is a very talented actor. I look forward to seeing him in more projects.

In the movie Night Call, Maddie is a student who works as a locksmith at night. One night, she goes to Claire, a mysterious woman, to open her apartment door. After helping Claire, Maddie realizes that Claire lied about her identity and deceived her. Following this incident, Maddie is unintentionally involved in a dangerous adventure in which she must prove her innocence during one night....

About the movie The movie Night Call is a French action thriller film directed by Michiel Blanchart in 2024. The movie Night Call stars Jonas Bloquet, Jonathan Feltre, Natacha Krief, and In the end, it was a very ordinary movie.

I saw this movie with my school, not expecting much from a Belgian movie. I was proved wrong within the first 5 minutes. This movie is shot so beautifully, colors were amazing. The action is great and the story is simple yet interesting.

With their small budget they created a great movie I would watch again. Definitely a recommender.

I almost forgot to mention the acting, it was phenomenal. The actor that plays the main lead "Mady" can express emotion really well. Especially anxiety and anger. I also really liked the substory (no spoilers) and you kind of have to interpret the end, but I think it's made pretty clear.

10/10, great movie.
