One evening, Mady--a young student by day, locksmith by night--receives an emergency call from Claire to open a lock. But the door the young woman wants to open isn't hers, and the bag she runs away with isn't hers either. It belongs to Yannick, a vicious mobster who blames Mady and will stop at nothing to retrieve his stolen goods. Mady has only one night to prove his innocence and save his neck. What started out as an ordinary night shift turns into a brutal descent into violence. NIGHT CALL is a no-holds-barred crime thriller that ambitiously combines genres, from film noir to action-packed survival.

A dark, electrifying ride that rarely lets up, Night Call elevates its familiar premise through Michiel Blanchart's assured direction, propulsive pacing, and inventive action.

4/5

Blanchart keeps the beat steady with a tight rhythm of tension and release, interspersing talky tense bits with bravura action, like a bike ride down the steps of an underground station.

An action movie that's daring, dark, and distinctly wild, Night Call is not to be missed.

3.5/5

By avoiding that limiting conceit, Blanchart gives Night Call an almost classical feel as Mady tries to outwit hardened criminals and belligerent cops and make it to morning alive.

4/5

Rather than coming across as John Wick-style superhuman fighters, the characters are desperate, unskilled, opportunist brawlers in a recognisably real, if slightly heightened, world.

Blanchart plays with the familiar Hitchcockian conventions of the innocent man drawn into criminal intrigue... But he also tries to add depth and context to the intrigue by including the BLM turmoil in the streets.

A few silly plot connectors but still a wild ride through the night with a slightly dark edge.

My low rating is based on the fact he didn't tell them why he was there which would have mattered. More directors are using this type of scenario to stretch out the scenes unrealistically.

A working man makes a single mistake and a wild story is born, in that regard this is not completely fictional. It's Belgian backdrop, cultural bits and the uniqueness of the central character makes this movie interesting. Action scenes weren't superficial and the locksmith doesn't become a superhero killing machine. The escape from both the law and criminals is a sharp social commentary and the story is written well enough to show how Mady's mind us rushing. Performances were flawless and the story's directness did seemed to be help. Decent audio effects and background music. Night Call is a well-paced movie with a straight forward plot that's easily enjoyable.

I loved the main charater. Some of the bad guys were really cliche'. It did keep an okay pace.
