Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Emile Hirsch in American Night (2021)
Art and life collide in this stylish and wildly entertaining neo-noir thriller. When a highly coveted Andy Warhol painting suddenly surfaces, it triggers a chain reaction of danger-filled events for a colorful group of characters including: a forger turned art dealer (Jonathan Rhys Meyers); a mobster and painter (Emile Hirsch) with a penchant for scorpions; a seductive museum conservator (Paz Vega); and a stuntman and wannabe ninja (Jeremy Piven). Filled with daring double-crosses and surprising twists and turns, the race for the painting comes to an explosive conclusion...one American Night.

    Loved it, great cast!

    Actually it's a nice action film with also a good sparkle of drama. It might be a little confusing at the beginning but you'll figure everything out as the movie goes on. Shoutout to the cast, Jonathan Rhys Meyers in particular and Emile Hirsch, who plays a quite convincing villain and properly comes out at the end in all of his madness.

    Good cast

    The cast did a great job. Good action, but I think the film could have been delivered a bit differently. Love it visually.

    Outstanding performances

    Paz Vega was outstanding in her role, and her character played a crucial part in the story, bringing depth and connecting the destinies of the mafia boss Michael Rubino and the art dealer and forger John Kaplan. Her performance was magnetic, guiding both men toward an intense, bloody, and spectacular finale that had me captivated. This film is a rare blend of action and art, with countless references to different artistic forms that enrich the experience. The nonstop action kept me fully engaged, eagerly anticipating each twist and turn. I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a thrilling cinematic experience with a touch of artful sophistication.

    So cool

    The movie made a huge impression on me, especially its aesthetic part. The editing was on point and the fact that everything in the movie is connected to art makes it obvious that one of the goals of the movie is for the viewer to enjoy the picture they see. What makes art truly good? Feelings.

    Some of the scenes are so powerful they would definitely make you feel strong emotions. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates a well-crafted story, this movie offers something to treasure. Every moment invites the viewer to not only watch but to feel, absorb, and ultimately connect with the beauty and emotion of the story being told. It's an unforgettable experience that I believe will stay with me for a long time to come. So the movie is good from both, emotional and aesthetic sides. Definitely recommend it.

    Good film to burn some time

    There's definitely alot going on with this film both visually and aesthetically. The start was a bit slow, but overall the film definitely grabbed my attention and is worth seeing it once.
