Judgment Night
Boys' night out becomes boys' nightmare out, when they take a wrong turn en route to the boxing match and witness a gangland killing. An action film in the Walter Hill mold, a sort of combination of Trespass and The Warriors, but reduced even further: a Walter Hillock, if you please. Swift, taut, expressionistically lit in hellish blasts of gold, blue, red, with some deep-as-Welles compositions. The man-to-man, mano-a-mano finale commits a few minor offenses, easily pardoned. Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Stephen Dorff, Jeremy Piven, Denis Leary; directed by Stephen Hopkins. 1993.
