Reviews


80
Arizona Republic - Randy Cordova
DeCubellis sets up a satisfying, stylish mystery, populated by striking characters and situations.
75
The A.V. Club - Adam Nayman
Luckily, Brody is a resourceful enough actor to make Porter a credible protagonist despite the mechanical nature of both his motivation and the plot around him.
60
New York Daily News - Joe Dziemianowicz
Writer and director Brian DeCubellis bathes the screen in dark shadows and provides fluid pacing. If you like your entertainment pulpy — and don’t mind swallowing cliches along the way — this “Night” is worth a look.
50
Washington Post - Pat Padua
Manhattan Night gets by on the strength of its visuals and a few vivid central performances, but by the time we find out whodunit, it doesn’t really matter.

New York Post - Sara Stewart
Too bad the film around Brody is fairly by-the-numbers, with a mean-spirited kicker that doesn’t imbue much originality to its imperiled-female plotline.
