It’s not easy to turn away from organized crime. On top of having to reckon with what you’ve done, to make reparations towards survivors, you also have to deal with everyone out to kill you. This is a familiar premise, of course, but writer-director Timo Tjahjanto takes it as an excuse to create some of the bloodiest and most action-packed sequences ever created, all stitched together into The Night Comes for Us, a fairly thin, but wildly entertaining martial arts crime thriller. With every skull crushed and blood gallon spurted, Tjahjanto goes nuts with his ever creative, violent spectacles that action fans must watch, if they can stomach the gore.
