Critics Consensus

A bloody thrill ride designed to test the limits of more squeamish viewers, The Night Comes for Us wields a stylishly violent, action-packed punch.

Barry Hertz

Globe and Mail

Unless you are on the programming committee for the most literally bloody-minded of film festivals, you have never experienced as ludicrously violent and gore-soaked a film as The Night Comes for Us.

Here's hoping that someone of Tjahjanto's visceral talent eventually finds a way to stop the bleeding.

Rated: C

Katie Rife

AV Club

It uses a thin plot touching on the classic Hong Kong action themes of brotherhood and loyalty as an excuse to string together a series of gonzo action set-pieces so ingeniously bloody that one could conceivably classify the film as horror.

Rated: B

This was a master class in fight choreography, cinematography, and storytelling. I greatly enjoyed watching this!

This is incredibly violent to the point of disturbing. Nonetheless, the fight scenes are some of the best I've ever seen. But this is a very dark and depressing story.

Rated: 3/5

The Night Comes For Us is a dynamite two hours and for those of us missing the action films of old, it's a breath of fresh air.

The okay story and the decent acting are heavily compensated by the creative choreography and downright shocking FX.

Wow! Was my first introduction to Indonesian action movies. Gritty and brutal with some of the best fight choreography I've ever seen. Uwais and Taslim for the win!

Quick, gruesome, stylish which personifies Indonesian movies. Iko Uwais and Joe Taslim were awesome as usual and Hollywood should learn from them.

This was a UGLY movie! - the color grading looked atrocious - the cgi was on the same level as SAW VII - the acting was cringeworthy - the score sounded like someone discovered the synth functions on a keyboard - really bad decisions/stylistic choices by the director - bad editing & camera angles (you could see them punch into thin air multiple times) - the violence didn't have any impact on me because of the bad direction - horrendous pacing - what was the deal with the girl again? - I couldn't remember anyone from previous scenes except Uwais (because he was in THE RAID), so I was confused the whole time + crazy violent ideas for killing people (that's what I wanted in the new HALLOWEEN movies) + still better fight choreography than ANY Hollywood movie ever + the parking garage/pool bollard/female killers fights were really good + the end fight was awesome In short: Ugly violent action flick that suffers from bad writing/direction/editing/music/acting and doesn't succeed in entertaining its audience for two hours. Watch instead: THE RAID 1 & 2 STORY OF RICKY
