DVD Reviews of Judgment Night
DVD Review: Degenerate souls crawling down degenerate places...
Summary: 4 Stars
From the cold, ruin-filled wastelands of Andrei Tarkovski's "Stalker", to the chiaroscuro-lit sewers in Carol Reed's filmnoir "The third man", to the chilly, rainy streets of post-World War Two Berlin in Wim Wenders' etherical fantasy "Wings of desire"... backgrounds with piles of dust and bricks, abandoned houses and closed-down abattoirs have always been attractive to filmmakers, and for that matter, to filmviewers.
It's these scenes of destruction and suburban alienation as decor in which even so mentally degenerate characters plow their way through - it's the decor of a nightmare, a nightmarish existence, in which the viewer is trapped as well.
Going down the serial killer's basement in "The Silence of the Lambs", Jodie Foster went down some deep steps in her soul as well. The team of workers who are tearing down an abandonned insane asylum in the haunting "Session 9" are slowly tearing each other up as much. The two victims in "Saw" meet each other and possibly their doom in a big worn-down toilet. In "The bone collector" Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington crawl down empty sewers, steam pipes, old slaughterhouses and stuffy libraries to find the necessary clues to catch a bloodthirsty madman. Angelina does this crawling physically, Denzel only mentally, but both are bound the restrictions of their own personal confinements.
In "Se7en" not-so-clean-shaven Brad Pitt enters a house that is filled with cockroaches and the stench of death with a flinch of unease that warns him (and the viewer) of more gruwesome things to come.
In many ways it reflects the viewers own dark side, which he keeps very much hidden for the outside world, but which he does care to share in the cinema. As if we open up our own Pandora's Box as soon as the theatre lights go out and the desolate landscapes fill the screen. Watching movies is a form of escapism, but at the same time we tend to throw ourselves in the basements, stairways and pits, because deep down we know that at the end the theatre will be filled with light again, and we can assure ourselves that we're really not that much down the drain as we might thought two hours ago.
This whole thing gives these movies some kind of extentialism in their guts and reason for some meditation. That is, if you're looking for more than just entertainment of course - no filmmaker should force the viewer into spirituallity or cinematic Buddhism. It's up to the audience to do so or not.
And tonight we have the underrated action thriller "Judgment night" in which Emilio Esteves and his friends get lost in a remote part of town and find themselves prey of a nasty gang, lead by howling hound Denis Leary.
Project buildings, high walls, empty trains and burning car wrecks surround our buddies on every corner and they close in to almost claustrophobic proportions. This makes the scenery another part of the nasty gang, when it works against our small-time heroes' escape - but then, a few moments later, when the wind suddenly changes direction, it becomes a partner and gives our heroes shelter for a moment or two.
Because sometimes, just sometimes, our nightmares work against the monsters they seem so eager to produce.
