Nightfall (2012)
8/10
well oiled and well convoluted plot

Every viewer has a his/her own line of believability for plot lines. The line between acceptable realism and ridiculousness is not that wide but varies from person to person.

This works for me. Works better than say, overheard 2 or the beast movie. Those are probably technically a bit better. Even though the plot here is just as borderline over the top. I can't really tell you line, but this one stayed behind the line for me.

Yes, the opening sequence of the fight is a bit over. But maybe because it kind of calm down after that. It got the action out of the way. The mystery is not that mysterious and is well lay out for audience to catch-on. The performances are up to par. Likely because the pacing is not in a hurry.

There are complaints. The washroom sequence of different levels is an old trick I don't like to see. It's dumb down to trickery. And near the end a bit more, flash back and tidying up then probably needed be - we get it. And I wonder why they didn't close up the cop's daughter relationship instead.
