| Examiner.comChris SawinNightfall is a bit of a mess, but it's an enjoyable mess. Its beautiful cinematography, engrossing performance of Simon Yam, and mesmerizing performance of Nick Cheung make you forget about whatever pitfalls the screenplay and storyline may have. |
| User ReviewMatt RLoved it, what a great Hong Kong thriller... with a nice twist in its tale, that maybe you can (or cannot) see coming. Really well done movie. |
| User ReviewStefano CNiente male! Personalmente ho apprezzato la sceneggiatura, che è complicata, ma solida. Bravi gli attori e buona la fotografia, sicuramente un regista da tenere d'occhio. |
| User ReviewLaurent BThis is one of the most beautiful thriller I have seen lately. Beautiful photo, very good acting, and a very interesting script, intelligent and original. |
| User ReviewDave JOnce again the Hong Kong film kids take a simple subject and turn it into a cinematic experience that no US movie seems to be able to ever do sans a blue moon. |
| User ReviewAndrew LThis film is very violent with great performances by all of the cast especially by Nick Cheung. A well written screenplay that has a twist in an intelligent way that convinced many audiences. Enjoyed from start to finish. |
| User ReviewDerek Jpushed as a meeting of the minds is more of "the meeting of the lames"! halfway lost interest as characters 1d on top gaping plotholes. buildup could be more elaborate, intricate.. to sum up: wasted. |
| User ReviewSteve WNightfall is a decent and semi-interesting murder mystery due to the forces of Simon Yam and Nick Cheung. They pretty much carry the movie with their subtle and nuanced performances, in this twisty detective story about a murdered opera singer. |
| User ReviewDennis LSomething missing, it's good but not great, it could go beyond on what has written for suspense, psychological film. Nevertheless, amazing acts by the main casts! |
| User ReviewKevin REverybody just wants something from you. A mute man that has been in jail for almost twenty years is released and appears to have conducted a straightforward revenge killing. However, as a detective investigates the murder, he uncovers a string of lies that makes the crime look less straightforward. The detective will need to research the original crime of the suspect twenty years ago to help determine what happened in the most recent murder. "You should find it shameful too." Rioy Hin Yeung Chow, director of Murderer and Rise of the Legend, delivers Nightfall. The storyline for this picture is interesting and fun to watch unfold with a few decent action sequences. The acting was okay and the dialogue was average. "He hardened himself up like steel." I randomly came across this on Netflix and decided to add it to the queue. This was fairly good and had some great character plots and subplots and did keep me interested from beginning to end. I wouldn't say this was special, in an Ishii the Killer kind of way, but it is worth a viewing if you enjoy the genre. "I will always be with you." Grade: C+ |
