- Synopsis:
Practically on a whim, a Triad enforcer Ito (Joe Taslim) goes rogue and slaughters gangland soldiers to protect a young girl Reina (Asha Kenyeri Bermudez); meanwhile, a friend from the old gang Arian (Iko Uwais) is ordered to kill him, sending the pair on a corpse-strewn collision course. A rampaging, hyperkinetic, carnage-filled beast of an action film, as breathlessly creative in its sensory assault techniques as it is in its whirling, thrashing choreography, a ballet of blood-soaked brutality. A sensational showcase for its stylish performers - Taslim and Uwais, of course, who have an unforgettable knock-down-drag-out showdown at the end, but don't sleep on what the ladies (Julie Estelle) are capable of, as their three-way clash is potentially its equal. The plot is a simple mechanism (though still unclear at times), characters are presented in minimalist terms, and it's a bit exhausting (if not desensitizing) at length - not to mention entirely unrealistic (Deadpool couldn't recover from some of the non-fatal blows received by the main characters) - but there's no denying the tremendous craftsmanship, skill, and visceral effect. - Actors:

Brutality Turned Up to Eleven, Story Left Behind - The Night Comes for Us review by griggs
The Night Comes for Us is like The Raid’s unhinged cousin—absolutely drenched in macho energy, gore, and gunfire. It was sold to me as next-level chaos, and sure, it delivers mayhem in spades. But it’s also a testosterone-fuelled bloodbath that left me more exhausted than exhilarated. I didn’t enjoy The Raid much either, though I admired it—this one goes harder, but not smarter. That said, the fight choreography is genuinely impressive. Shame the rest feels so one-note.
