For a pretty face

A working man makes a single mistake and a wild story is born, in that regard this is not completely fictional. It's Belgian backdrop, cultural bits and the uniqueness of the central character makes this movie interesting. Action scenes weren't superficial and the locksmith doesn't become a superhero killing machine. The escape from both the law and criminals is a sharp social commentary and the story is written well enough to show how Mady's mind us rushing. Performances were flawless and the story's directness did seemed to be help. Decent audio effects and background music. Night Call is a well-paced movie with a straight forward plot that's easily enjoyable.

Action-packed Belgian crime thriller

Wow... After seeing the trailer first, I was expecting a lot of this film. And I sure wasn't disappointed after seeing it.I have to say, I've seen quite the Belgian blockbusters and hidden gems, as I collect them (as they are hard to find sometimes), but this one is up there among the best for me.Non-stop brutal action scenes will come your way, well acted and super engaging from the start.A simple yet clever story that delivers in a very realistic way, without trying to be anything else.Apart from... - maybe - the very end.The ending felt somewhat anticlimactic, given the progression of the story, and they did put in a tiny little political stance. However, it didn't make the main story fall short in any way, but I wasn't sure what to think of the ending as it was.Overall, a solid 9/10.

Night and the city

Although 'La nuit se traîne' is set in Brussels, it has all the characteristics of a run-of-the-mill thriller from Hollywood. A gentleman-criminal living in a luxury high rise overlooking the city? Check. A high speed car chase ending in a crash? Check. A man escaping from his pursuers by entering a subway car that's about to leave the platform? Check. Two creepy looking thugs using violence againt anyone standing in their way? Check.These tired Hollywood clichés and the abundance of violence stand in the way of what this film could have been: an original and well-written nail-biter with an interesting social dimension. The screenplay is clever enough. The film takes place during one night, in which locksmith Mady is drawn against his will into a dirty affair which keeps on getting more complicated and, for him, more life-threatening. In order to safe his life, he has to retrieve a large sum of cash before dawn. The events take place against the background of a large Black Lives Matter-demonstration.But instead of concentrating on the story, the film takes unnecessary detours, and fails to explain some improbabilities. On the plus side, the director has put a lot of effort in filming the nocturnal streets of Brussels, and succeeds in showing the city from a nice aesthetic perspective. For viewers who are familar with the city, trying to recognize the locations is a nice game.
