Not for those with short attention spans

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2000)

I enjoyed this movie, and realized even more so now that I have had some time to mull it over. The first 3 quarters of the movie are kind of plodding and for those of you with short attention spans, it can be a downright turn off. But Night delivers the goods by the end. The inner child in me thoroughly enjoyed the comic book aspect of the movie. The idea and concept are highly original as is much of the cinematography. I especially like the idea of using a color to personify personalities in the movie, ie purple for Samuel L Jackson..the inside of his coat, his walls in his apartment. In an era of movies that entertain sense much more than they inspire thought, it is quite a breath of fresh air to have a mainstream moviemaker that titillates the mind's palate. This is definantly a movie that beckons to be watched a second time to fully enjoy.
