Fantastic Fest 2018 Review – “The Night Comes for Us”

Published

on

So you remember back when The Raid came out and all of us film geeks freaked out about it and made it our personal mission to show as many people as we could fit on a couch this amazing new brutal martial arts film we just found. Get ready for that trend to start up again because The Night Comes for Us gave me the exact same feeling when watching it in the theater.

Not only that, but it feels like half the cast from the Raid films were snatched up by director Timo Tjahjanto, the man behind Headshot and Killers to make this. Joe Taslim really steps up and gives it his all as our anti hero of a main character as well as a really interesting turn from Iko Uwais playing against type as our morally conflicted villain.

Along with a great cast, Tjahjanto has a great eye for cinematography. This film is “gorgeous”! You will be so distracted by the scrumptious visuals that you will forget how brutally violent the film is until you have the realization “Woah! When did that bottle end up in that guy’s face?” And make no mistake, this film is punishing in terms of it’s actions. Remember that cool door kill from the first Raid film?

Imagine one of those level of kills every 5 to 10 minutes. Our main character uses his environment to kill his adversaries in so many creative ways, you would think Jason Vorhees learned martial arts. The final fight in particular feels like the truly vicious final showdown between Wolverine and Sabertooth that we were denied in the X-Men films.

The only negative here is that the film could probably cut some fat from it’s story so it can run at a leaner and meaner 90 minutes. Julie Estelle comes out of know where at one point from what feels like a completely different movie. Her backstory and motivations are left so unexplained that, if I didn’t know better, I would think that they are setting her up for her how spin off movie MCU style. This does not stop The Night Comes for Us from being one of the most pulse pounding action films I have seen in a long time and I highly recommend you see it once it hits Netflix this month.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
