Night Always Comes

This had the potential to be great. However it slipped up any a number of places, making the overall story fall flat.

There were a number of mistakes, and pieces that just didn't make sense or were unbelievable, that could have easily been addressed.

The ending was also very weak, didn't provide enough, and the last minute or two were just a waste, that could have been used to close our some loose ends.

Middle of the road B movie that's good to watch on a wet lazy Saturday afternoon.

This is a dramatic thriller that is well done but is deeply unsettling. It is the story of a troubled family, featuring Vanessa Kirby as a struggling girl that is looking to protect her developmentally disabled brother. Her Mom, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, is an even more troubled and the family stands to lose their home. This leads to the series of dramatic and thrilling events that place the life and safety of the characters in danger. The film is well acted and well filmed. The strength, beside the acting, is Direction and cinematography. It is dark and foreboding. The cast is great. I didn't;t love it and it made me feel like crap but it is well done.

There was absolutely no value to this film than showcasing a terrible family dynamic and disastrous flow of events. Disappointing to see Vanessa Kirby who is so full of potential reduce herself and waste her talents in this film.

I totally appreciate this can be the life of so many in society, some even worse than what is portrayed in the film. But my question is why and what were the key messages? We see a flawed female protagonist that's made bad life choices try to save her family and 'fight' for them but not have that reciprocated. What is the emotional payoff or point? Toxic things happen to people who make bad choices? I think you need more than that to deliver that emotional depth and stronger themes. Based on a pointless novel and a poor film. Come on Netflix stop making such poor films.

It felt real, it certainly was no Hollywood story and certainly no Hollywood ending.

It's one of the best movies I've ever seen on Netflix and they sure have had some stinkers on there lately.

Vanessa Kirby and most of the supporting actors did a brilliant job of making the whole thing believable.

What Americans will never realize is that the money they don't make from their work is taken by parasitic shareholders. And this movie is another example of hiding that fact. It's the same people who make these movies and show the underdogs struggling and slipping into illegality as those who get rich off them. And the typical johns aren't exactly Chinese either.
