Um Lance no Escuro estreava há 45 anos na Irlanda. "Sei que não faz sentido quando se tem 16 anos, mas quando fizer 40 as coisas não serão melhores." - Harry Moseby. Fazer um filme de detetive depois que o Altman atingiu o ápice em The Long Goodbye é uma tarefa árdua, mas transformar o enredo num jogo de xadrez é uma tática bem vinda num gênero tão surrado. DVD Versátil.

I liked the locations and the characters' unusual, relaxed attitudes. A fun mix of tropical murder mystery, some stunt work, and some oldskool Hollywood glamour. The movie is obsessed with underage tits, which was a bit weird, although I shouldn't be complaining. The highlight is a very random fondue scene, which really blew my mind. The downside is the silly plot which doesn't make any sense to me.

A solid, moody neo-noir that's a fair bit more accessible and charming than its gloomy contemporaries -- that is, until the memorably staged and pessimistic climax, that suddenly brings up the excitement level after most of the film keeping itself casually atmospheric.

Some good scenes, but it is littered with uninteresting, unlikable characters. Was the score trying to juxtapose the situation at times? If so, it fell flat and struck the wrong tone. I can't remember the last score I heard that was so poorly conceived. Paced well enough and pretty to look at, but instantly forgettable.

"Night Moves" is justifiably overshadowed by the stellar neo-noir entries of the preceeding few years, namely "Chinatown" and "The Long Goodbye". It's one to hunt down for people who have already run through the classics, but shares the same pitfall as the worst of the genre: it can be extremely dull at times.

Fondu in bed right after sex is about the most 1970s thing you can do. Night Moves is a great neo-noir thriller that may spend a little too much ogling Melanie Griffith, but then narrows its focus to produce a great conclusion.

N.M is perfectly enjoyable, but it pales when compared to superior noirs of the era like The Long Goodbye and Chinatown, which turned its conventions inside out. Like those films, it features a protagonist ensnared in a complicated plot well over his head, but there is no formal invention nor any particular resonance to its denouement. Hackman is typically compelling, and the scene of him staring down through a glass pane is brilliantly shot, but it's a solid craftman's piece, nothing more.

The ending is memorable but Christ what you have to sit through to get to it. See this only after you've seen all the other downbeat, revisionist detective movies of the 70s (Chinatown, The Conversation, The Long Goodbye, plus Cutter's Way which is a 70s movie in spirit) for better treatments of similar themes. Or see it first if you want them to seem even better in comparison.
