The Night Comes for Us

Great Martial Arts Movies & Amazing Fights With Super Brutal Kills.

This has some of the best fight choreography I have every seen, but what's with the gore? I was able to stomach Raid 2, but this takes it to another level. Nothing is left to the imagination. No part of the body is left unpummeled, unmashed, unobliterated, unsliced, unshot, un-anything goes. Yes, I made many of those words up, but this movie is seriously sick. After watching something like this, on some base level I felt appalled with myself. Everything that is wrong with movie violence is here to the n-th degree. I wonder why they had to go so far. Surely they could release a cleaner cut with the extremities snipped out. I should also add that in this movie, there is barely a single person that holds morality to a candle. It's that depraved. I'm done with this kind of movie. It's like having the darkest perversions of violence rubbed in your face with the assumption that you love it, and it worries me that there is a target audience who will lap it up.

This ain't the martial arts movie your parents grew up with! Would be NC-17 if rated. "Hostel" levels of gore here. People almost litterally shredded to bloody ribbons, heads (yup, plural!) crushed and shot into gooey paste, explosions leave bodies in gory tatters, and much MUCH more! All in sequences that can go as long as 10 minutes. The practical effects make it even more disturbing. It's not the cartoonish "Kill Bill" gore either. It's legitamately nauseating stuff that even a mid level gore hound like me needed a break from. All in the grotesquely creative, furiously directed and coreographed The Raid style action that bring thrills that Marvel drivel wishes it could deliver. Sadly, unlike The Raid (the 1st movie at least) , this movie shoves its cliche, melodramatic plot and thin characters down your throat. Thankfully this is forgotten when the mayhem starts.
