Five Underrated Thrillers To Consider: Part I
Judgement Night (1993)
New father Frank (Emilio Estevez) departs for a night out, joining friends Mike (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and Ray (Jeremy Piven) as they head to a boxing match. At the last minute, they are joined by John (Stephen Dorff), Frank’s brother. Stuck in gridlock traffic, the guys take a shortcut that gets them lost. In a very dangerous neighborhood, they witness a murder by a gang leader called Fallon (Denis Leary). They flee, but Fallon now wants them hunted down and and eliminated.
Is this the greatest movie ever? No, not by any stretch of the imagination. However…! You seriously might want to check it out, if only for the troll-job put on screen by Denis Leary. My favourite line of the movie, ‘special offer on isle 3 – dead meat’.
