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.

As a die-hard action fan, I went into this movie with high expectations—and it still managed to blow me away. The action sequences are intense, brutal, and beautifully choreographed. It’s a full-on adrenaline rush from start to finish. This one’s a must-watch for any action junkie.☠️ If you liked this, I highly recommend checking out Ninja Assassin, Bloodhounds, and the Roundup series. You won’t be disappointed🙃

A familiar, fairly thin plot revolving around a "hitman with a heart", whom saves a child from a massacre he was involved in perpetrating, serves as pretext for well-choreographed sequences of adrenaline infused, blood slathered violence that will likely jar even the most seasoned action fan. There is splatter horror. This is ultraviolent splatter action. The expected comparisons to The Raid films are justified. And while not quite at the level of those 2 films in terms of acting, directing & originality, The Night Comes for Us surpasses them when it comes to audaciously violent & brutal abbatoir-level set pieces. Indonesian action is a force to be reckoned with, and puts so many American productions to shame.

A movie that tries to be just as glorious as The Raid duology, and it ALMOST succeeds. Really the only negative and what keeps it from being just as good as The Raid is it's drama parts, which are not really as effective as the ones from The Raid, and can be quite a bore to get through; but once you manage to...my God...you are in for some of the best, bloodiest and adrenaline-fueled scenes ever filmed.

It's definitely a good action film but not as good as the " RAID 2" that's only if u have already watched it. It's kind similar with Raid 2, violence and gore are everywhere but somewhat less than the Raid 2.

I still come back and watch this film from time to time. I love the fight choreography. Even after watching it a few I still cringe on a few moments when I see blades go in places they shouldn't. This is right up there with The Raid films for me.
