Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An smart well made action-suspense/thriller.
Review: Four friends (Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Stephen Dorff and Jeremy Piven) are going to a boxing match in Chicago and once they take the wrong turn at a traffic highway, going unexpectingly going to the ghetto side of Chicago. The four witness a murder from the inside of thier RV, once they seen it. The Leader of the gang (Played by Denis Leary in a strong performance) are running after the witnesses.

Fun, fast, entertaining film-directed by Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2, The Ghost and the Darkness, Lost in Space). The script is well written, which is above average but the directing, acting and music from the film is first rate. Goodtimes DVD Quality is well done on the picture quality is well done (But doesn't respect the original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio) is at 1.78:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer. Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Sound, which the film did came out on DTS back in 1993, the sound of the DVD is terrific, incredible use of sound all on five speakers plus at the subwoofer is excellent. A Better DVD from Universal did Re-Release this DVD to the Original Aspect Ratio Widescreen of 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer with the First-Time on Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and also on DTS. DVD only extra is the Trailer. A miss at the fall of 1993 but deserve a second look today. Super 35. Grade: B+.

Summary: "Attention, shoppers, there's a special today, dead meat!"
Review: Frank Wyatt (Emilio Estevez), Mike Peterson (Cuba Gooding Jr.), John Wyatt (Stephen Dorff), and Ray Cochran (Jeremy Piven) are on their way to a boxing match when crowded traffic forces them to make a detour. This leads to one hell of a night for the four, as they accidentially witness a murder of a disloyal henchman by drug lord Fallon (Denis Leary), who has two rules: kill all liars, and leave no witnesses. He and his gang pursue the four through the underbelly of the city, while the four try to get help.

When originally released in October 1993, it bombed for reasons unknown. The performances by the central characters were awesome, with Denis Leary making a great villian. Goodtimes, however, aims to please as they present an excellent movie with a good transfer and widescreen to boot! The sound is great too. The DVD's praise, however, stops there. Aside from production notes, there are no extras on this DVD. I excuse this, however, as Goodtimes has never been known as a quality DVD distributor (No offense). Good try, Goodtimes.

Summary: Not too bad for an Emilio Estevez action movie
Review: Here's a movie about 4 whiny rich brats (Estevez, Stephen Dorff, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Jeremy Piven) going to a boxing match when they exit the freeway to avoid a traffic jam and end up lost in Chicago's projects. Then they witness a drug-related murder. The villians, lead by Denis Leary and Peter "I always play a bad guy" Greene, are what save this movie. Leary does a very strong performance here and I believe this movie would absolutely suck without him. As you'd probably expect, the acting by Estevez and his gang are average with sometimes cheesey dialog. I found myself rooting for the bad guys in this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still one of my favourite films EVER
Review: I can remember seeing this film about 7 years ago and bugging the local video store for its release so I could buy it. The acting is fantastic with both Emilio Estevez and a young Cuba Gooding Jnr doing a superb job. Stephen Dorf and the guy that plays Ray are also brilliant. The star of the show for me is Dennis Leary who is pure evil with a fantastic sense of humour as well. The DVD is simply BRILLIANT with great surround sound and picture quality. I would recommend this film to anybody. Shut the lights off, get your four pack and pop corn, turn the volume up and enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Suspenseful, exciting, great movie
Review: I saw this movie then immediately purchased it. It is a fascinating look at two classes of society and how eventually Ray (Emilio Estevez) understands how tough life can be and still manages to hold together his friends in a crisis situation. It looks like it's set in Chicago and we just loved it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie that was overlooked.
Review: I saw this movie when it was new and I loved it. So when I saw it was available on DVD I immediatly bought it. A great thriller to watch with friends or family.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT
Review: I would like to say i thought the movie was AWESOME. The acting on Deni Leary's part with his gang was as real as it gets. AND the preppy guys like (Frank) Emilo and his buddy's were so true to form. The setting of the movie was good to. I lived in the suburbs of Chicago, Il were this movie was shot and let me tell you that there is a part of Chicago just like that. I was sitting at the edge of my seat the whole movie.. The acting and the directing was very good.I would recommend this movie to any one..I bought the movie too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Cast!
Review: If you are looking for a movie with an awesome cast, then Judgment Night is for you. Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jeremy Piven and Stephen Dorff. Four guys that give an incredible performance, showing no fear and a great deal of courage. Even though the movie ends with only three of the four, they all make the movie a hit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic Suspensful Thriller...One of a Kind!
Review: If you haven't seen this movie, you are missing an amazing experience. Great acting all around, and Dennis Leary is hilarious! One of the most realistic movies I have ever seen, trust me, you'll see what I mean.
