Suspense all the way.......2007-05-09
I always loved this classic because it gives the viewer an inside view to what really does happen on the streets of Americas most dangerous cities.
Judgement Night.......2007-05-07
A chilling film. Well done; the late-night inner-city environment is scary. I recommend this disc!
Judgement Night.......2007-03-12
I love this movie and have rented it many times hence the reason I purchased the movie. The Cat & mouse chase is brillient and the actors are also great. However I could not view this purchased movie as it is not the same region as Australia. Therefore I won't be purchasing any more movies from this website.
You be the judge.......2006-10-15
Dont buy this if you haven't already seen it. Rent it first and then buy it if you like it. So if you have seen it you have probably made up your mind if you are going to add this collection or not already. But here is my 10 cents worth anyway.
The reason I ever saw this movie in the first place was for two reasons. a)the soundtrack which featured the top heavy metal and hip hop acts around at the time and fused them together. And b)Denis Leary, who I liked as a stand up comic and was curious to see him acting in a serious role playing your typical "bad guy" role.
I wasn't disappointed in either case. The music provides a great backdrop to the mood of the whole movie. And Denis was great in the role of Fallon, a drug-dealing no-nonsense bad guy in control of a whole neighbourhood.
So I didn't hesitate to buy this when it was finally released on DVD. It was a good movie back in its day and still is today in my opinion. The all star cast is a bonus as well, although I am not a particular fan of Jeremy Piven, he was quite good in this role. Peter Greene is once again very appealing in his bad guy role as Fallons right hand man.
It definitely wasn't Emilio Esteves' best movie and I think Cuba Gooding Jnr was out of place as his best friend, but still a worthwhile purchase for any fans of theirs.
Special features include a trailer and that's it. Would have been good to get a commentary from the director but overall I give it 3.5 stars and Ill round that up to 4.
Good film, quality DVD...give it a try!.......2006-06-12
I preface all of my DVD reviews with the following note: There are more than enough film reviews on Amazon.com and, quite frankly, it's a bit ridiculous. A person can scroll through scores/pages of reviews without reading a single sentence about the quality of the DVD. If you want to review or discuss a film, go to IMDB. If you're reviewing the DVD, speak to the qualities (or lack thereof) of the audio and video; mention your opinions of the plot, acting, etc. but please don't write an essay!
Now, on to my review of the Judgment Night DVD.
VIDEO (A-): The films starts with a shot of the sky and then pans down to the neighborhood below. I have the newer Universal DVD (which I understood to be a very good transfer), so my heart sank when I saw quite a bit noise and speckles present in that first shot. Thankfully, however, this did not continue longer than 15 or 20 seconds. The rest of the film was clear and detailed. Black levels are very important since 95% of this movie takes place in very low light; again, the black levels held up nicely and so did the colors. It is presented in its proper theatrical aspect ratio and is anamorphically enhanced. While not a perfect transfer, it is certainly a very good one.
AUDIO (B): This DVD comes with DTS and DD 5.1 tracks; I always go for the 5.1 option and this one doesn't disappoint. The music enhances the scenes and action, but is almost always in the background and never clashes with the dialogue. That is to say, its mix is just as it should be. The effects are well-done, but there's nothing spectacular. There's nothing sonically wrong with film or the DVD, but this isn't one to show off your system with.
FILM (A-): The very definition of an underappreciated movie. Like many people, the only reason I became aware of its existence was because I caught it on the USA network one lazy afternoon (in fall 2005 to be exact). The "look" and "feel" of the film were such that I thought it was made more recently; I was quite surprised to learn that it was actually released in 1993. A dynamic cast, especially Leary, Gooding Jr., and Estevez, put in solid performances. The direction is competent and the cinematography is great. There isn't much in the way of a convincing story or plot, but it's an above-average thriller. It's linear, down-to-earth, not too grusome, and doesn't rely on gimmicks like sex scenes or nudity. Sadly, this movie is probably destined to languish in obscurity. I doubt many people would pick this up as an impulse buy, which is unfortunate, because I think most would be pleasantly surprised and actually enjoy it.
