"While I'm often critical of films that put plot on the back burner to focus mainly on set pieces, The Night Comes For Us manages to deliver so highly through its ultra violent, wonderfully choreographed depictions of action that it can be forgiven for being more long variation of fights sprinkled with the bare bones of a plot to make you invested in what you see.
Loosely a redemption film about an ultra high ranking member of the Triads who betrays them to find his humanity again in the guise of rescuing a girl he is supposed to kill, the audience doesn't need to be bogged down too much in the detail as opposed to the viciously gory scenes of splendour that erupt on the screen without giving a minute for breath.
The work put in for both action and the practicalities of shying away from CGI blood (mostly) makes this an admirable and at times eye boggling indulgence in reality bending human endurance as every cut and punch is laced with a ferocity normally seen only in sparse moments of even the grittiest of films.
Satisfying for both gore and actions fanatics alike, this is a thriller in every sense of the word"
- 7.5/10
