Film Noir (literally 'black film') was a term created by French film scribes who noticed how 'dark', downbeat and black the textures and themes of many American crime and detective movies finally released in France following the WWII. (Films they... Full review

It's interesting that so many people either rated this movie a 9-10 or a 1-2. I would suggest that those at the high end were dazzled by the setting and those at the low end were disappointed by the hodgepodge... Full review

What fun seeing a good ole fashion blood and guts, shoot 'em up noir. I felt like I was seeing a whole other side of the way crime thrillers could be made. This one uses sex, mostly in the backdrop... Full review

This is an interesting work in the film noir/gangster genre. The story has to do with the bad blood between father and son, played out over one night in Sao Paulo. The tone and mood of the movie seem to... Full review

"Journey to the End of the Night" defies any instant classification. It touches on many genres and plays more like an amalgamation of films. The effect is wonderful and stirring and by the end of the movie you feel like... Full review

I also watched the film at Tribeca and found it as a whole work to be interesting and entertaining. Sure there were flaws in the film itself but in total I enjoyed the camera work, the colors and the actors.... Full review

The film is a second feature by a director who had a film at Tribeca a few years ago which i never saw. This is a gritty pot boiler made in Brazil with an eclectic mix of famous faces and... Full review

For any students in the audience, this film screams to be part of a comparative Greek literature paper.....I highly recommend Journey to the End of the Night....My only real gripe with the film is Paul (Fraser) is at times, over-the-top.....If a fan of the mechanics and art of cinematography, Mr. Burtin is happy to tell all.....I don't recommend you watch it with your kids.... ...

With some star power behind this film, you would at least think the acting might be able to hide some of the film's shortcomings....Scott Glenn, who normally turns in a decent performance pretty much does a phone in job with his role.....The story takes off from there with ridiculous twists....This is probably the worst performance of his otherwise lackluster career.....Brendan Fraser, who is a bit overrated as an actor anyway, is absolutely awful..... ...

Though never given a part where he can fluidly stretch his dramatic poignancy, he does so in Journey to the End of the Night exceptionally well. Reflective of the gritty cinematography and narrative that's become richly effective with many modern films, Journey to the End of the Night is quite a treat to behold. ... Full Review

Most of the film is shot in the dark, it seems, in keeping with the coal-black mood of the entire affair. Unfortunately we never much care for either Glenn or Fraser's characters, leaving the film in the hands of Mos Def, a dishwasher pressed into helping out. ... Full Review
