As Night Comes (2014)

Finally, a movie that makes me think! A nonstop ride, from our children's perspective. This movie shows what goes on behind the scenes. Our kids only tell us what we want to hear. Maybe as parents we should start asking more questions, and being more involved. Very well done, highly recommended. I like the way that the film was done, very clean technique, with many different angles. Characters were well portrayed throughout the entire film length. The dialogue was realistic and very well written. A must see movie for teenagers who feel lost, and don't have anywhere to turn. All aspects of this film kept my attention, and made me feel like I was watching the scene right in front of my eyes. It made me wonder if I really knew everything that goes on with my kids.

This movie wasn't exactly what I was expecting but it was compelling. I was interested in the characters' relationships. I think it really depicted high school well. It was very sad, which I actually liked because so many movies nowadays you watch and you don't really care about the characters, you don't really feel anything when you're done- it's just entertainment. But this movie felt very... emotional, but in a quiet way. Which is a good thing IMO. Maybe some people just want to be entertained when they see movies, but I want to feel stuff, I want to be pulled into the world of the movie. I really felt like I was in this guy's life. Also I really liked the soundtrack!

Important movies like this do not come along very often anymore. Unlike a lot of other movies that rely on a simple plot mixed with sex and violence, this movie is character driven and successfully relies on its storytelling. It is one of the few movies out there that directly and realistically faces a very serious issue in society today. ALL parents, teachers, principals and guidance counselors need to watch this movie and directly discuss what is happening in out society today. A must see, it is a conversation our society need to be having! Well paced a intelligently crafted to give you dynamics that come from the characters emotions keeps the story moving. Few movies today discuss real issues that are relevant to what we need to be discussing as a society.

This is by far the worst movie I have seen out of 2014. I read some great reviews but I have a feeling they might have either known people in this production or saw the wrong movie. nothing makes sense about this plot. You have your typical "tough guy", who is actually a scrawny weirdo with bleach blond hair and a severely under-developed character. The main character has absolutely no individuality at all(which is the whole plot). The ending is terrible, so if you're like me and can't start a movie without finishing it...don't bother, it doesn't get better.Spoilers:Ricky and the gang are on top of a building screaming at group of people including the police who are after them. They escape down a fire escape after giving a speech about how different they are. Why did the group of 5+ policemen all go up the stairs on the inside instead of surrounding the building or even covering the fire escape?The group of idiots goes to watch a movie and get kicked out, only to drop a firework in a popcorn machine while being escorted out of the theater. My only problem with this is that the police are immediately on their heels over this. Everyone knows who did it. The next day they're at school like nothing happened. Everyone knows that every kid involved would be pulled into the police station from school. Somehow these kids keep messing up over and over without any repercussions and that seems to be the entire movie.There's a giant underground bar/rave going on 24/7 in a shack hidden away in what looks like a bad part of downtown. Of course this underground place is called "underground" (so original). In this place kids do drugs all day and rave while drinking underage. The owner of the place says that the cops called wanting to know if the group of kids who set off the cherry bomb in the movie theater "hang around here". So the police know about this giant underground place that kids do drugs all day long and drink...that makes sense. So, why is it that the police act so surprised to discover this place after being "tipped off"? Also, to top it off, they make it appear as if Ricky is dealing drugs out of the place. He gives a wad of money to the owner of the bar/rave and the guy counts it and tells Ricky he's short. He responds that he took his friends to a movie. The guy is angry but still gives him more drugs to sell even though he's short. Also, who deals drugs in paper bags? What is even being sold? He only owed him $200 for a giant paper bag. Are they selling dirt weed out of brown paper sacks? The only drug you ever see anyone doing is coke, which I assure you isn't sold in folded up brown sacks.I could go on for hours about this terrible movie, but I won't.
