Dead of Night (2009)
Dark Thriller with a tip of the hat to Mann
24 July 2010 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Slick B&W film that captures a bit of Manhunter, Collateral and Miami Vice. Well constructed first film from Nick Michalak gives a tip of the hat to his primary cinematic influence - Michael Mann. Interesting camera work and a dark, foreboding script with a nice twist ending. Check out the prologue and epilogue scenes which give some more background on the story. Some great performances from Charlie Jensen and J. Preston Taub drive the plot, Laura Wettingfeld does an admirable job playing the thankless victim of the story, and the guy who plays Vendelin is effective as well - more of a shadowy apparition then a flesh & blood FBI agent. For a low budget indie, this delivers the goods.
