... generates some mild suspense, but ultimately it's too convoluted and far-fetched to allow for any investment in the payoff.

What sounds so delicious in the telling is pallid and ludicrous onscreen.

It's pretty frustrating to watch a close-but-no-cigar movie like this.
May 23, 2016
It's bogged down by hackneyed characters that do no justice to the film noir titles it tries to emulate.

Manhattan Night isn't a great example of the genre, but it's the best you'll get this side of 1959.

DeCubellis never manages to captivate the viewer and doesn't have the necessary dramatic tensions. [Full review in Spanish]
August 26, 2016
Director DeCubellis is frightfully beholden to the tropes of the genre, and the premise (involving blackmail, strange dares and an inexplicable horse story) is just not credible.

The best noir films are as dry as their heroes; the self-consciousness of Manhattan Night makes it awfully hard to appreciate the things it does well.

The thrilling twists and turns of Harrison's plot are here, but DeCubellis's hazy pacing drains the film of the book's zest. Though great material mishandled is frustrating to view, there are nonetheless some bright spots.

Despite being rife with crime, sex and darkness, Manhattan Night feels increasingly like a cheap ripoff of the genre it so very much wants to fit into.

A mystery film that involves videotapes, blackmail, seduction games and assassinations. In his ambition to create a noir film, director Brian DeCubellis fails in his attempt and only offers an incoherent story. [Full review in Spanish]
