THE NIGHT CREW centers on a group of hard up bounty hunters who must survive the night in a desert motel against a horde of savage border runners. They soon realize that their fugitive, a mysterious Chinese woman, is much more than she lets on. Written by

The IMDb plot section announces: "They soon realize that their fugitive [...] is much more than she lets on." We do as well. We realise who she is in the first minutes. From there, we expect fun... that never comes because the story decides that the bounty hunters will remain ignorant. So, instead of what we want, we get dull images, boring gunfights in the dark.

Of course the bad guys always miss, with either assault rifles or rocket launchers, while the average guys (who hunt people for money, so no, I can't call them good guys) are as good at bullseye as they are at bullshit. Realising their inferiority at handling heavy weapons, the professional killers later opt for much better tactics, going one by one and hand-to-hand against the gun-wielding hero, with the results that you would expect. The Night Crew is one of those movies.

The action scenes do not make up for their inanity, in either tension, humour or spectacle. They are simply bad. As for Danny Trejo, don't expect to see much of him. He is there sporadically, and only for talks.

Danny Trejo who is on the front cover is doing a cameo only. A bunch of bounty hunters crossed the Mexican border to bring back a mysterious girl who is going to testify against some cartel kingpin. We don't really care actually. It's poorly directed. They are supposed to be special ops team and they act like a bunch of amateurs during the siege in the motel. They scream "no" each time one of them is hit by a bullet. So cliché.

The dialogs are horrible. "Promise me you will keep on going if I am going down". Totally forgettable.

I don't even know if I can write 10 lines for this total garbage.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"The Night Crew" (2015) is enjoyable low budget action flick with some nice twist. It's nothing original or exciting, but it is very watchable and can be even enjoyable, if you will lower your expectations first. The plot is simple but there is one nice bloody twist which i won't spoil. There are some gory scenes and it's kinda bloody picture, but it's not to bloody or disgusting. Acting was OK, nothing special although i liked performance by Chasty Ballesteros - she looks sexy and she gave probably the best performance in this movie - so it's a double win for viewer :)

Overall, "The Night Crew" (or better known as a "Blackwater") is a B action flick with some intriguing twist. If you skip it, you won't going to regret it or loose anything, but it worth a look on a boring evening.

You have seen this before, almost with the same exact cast and premise. A few famous action names or faces on the poster, which actually are just in the movie briefly, Luke Goss assembling rag tag group of rowdy misfits trapped in a predicament, and even with the similar lackluster action choreography. However, it has a new twist of "From Dusk Till Dawn" which audience will see from miles away and in inferior quality.

The story follows Wade, not Wilson, (Luke Goss) as he bunkers down on a motel while his bounty, a strange woman attracts attention from unsavory bunch. There's barely any acting involved here as the movie opts for more light action style. Granted, this mindless spree fits theme better than actually trying to pull a dramatic suspense, there's also some attempts in humor and thriller that sadly miss the mark more often than not.

It moves randomly between slow scenes to tease its supposedly shocking plot twist, but sometimes sporadically rushed into action. None of which feels as they are executed nearly, the build-up consists of usual macho gung ho, which is tiredly used in almost every other Luke Goss' movies, while the action part is not sufficiently choreographed nor does it have fast pace combat.

In fact there are times where people would run off the cover during hail of bullets and try to sucker punch the other guy. It's amazingly bad how this silly antic still persists, even in low budget flick. Fans of the genre might have a bit of fun with the carnage, yet it's fleeting and not exactly a more compelling version from "From Dusk Till Dawn", which it clearly tries to imitate.

It's an average action movie that tries to siphon any appeal from better spectacle, and only ends up in overused gimmicks.

Man, I can't believe how this movie had the budget of 3 million pax. Such garbage. SPOILER ALERT: Danny Trejo is a Besieged Farmland vampire. It makes no sense. The soundtrack of this movie would be decent if it wasn't ripped out of the orchestral backing from Tony Anderson's - The Power of Love. I do give credit where it is due however; Jason Mewes gives a resounding performance as Officer know nothing. On a larger and far more disastrous note, you hardly see the bad guys; as the majority of this films budget went toward Danny Trejo's blood transfusions.

General Concensus:

Make sure you watch this on a first date with somebody. It will guarantee your alpha status as "Lord of the Movies".

I mean it's another one of Danny Trejo's more indie like movies similar to Machete but if your into action flicks this one is definitely worth giving a watch. The ending has a serious twist that you may or may not see coming (I didn't). The acting isn't the most spectacular, but c'mon it's a low budget action movie and you get what you pay for.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, if you like the Machete series then I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy this. The plot revolves around a women connected to some big time cartel boss whom bounty hunters quasi-kidnap to take across the border for their bounty. Things don't necessarily go as planned and they maybe don't know enough about their bounty and or mission beforehand to accurately assess the situation and prepare accordingly. That's pretty much all you'll need to know, from there on its non stop firefights and fisticuffs with a little twist at the end.

Action scenes were Very good lots of shooting, fighting lot's of Explosions and some of action scenes were not fake at all it's all completed this is not much of B Class movie it's more just low budget Action Horror movie what do you Expect to be hey I wish this was a franchise with better budget and little bit better writing but ending is something you won't expect it's a twist it's bloody not bloody as from dusk till dawn or anything like Robert Rodriguez film it's on it's own. the acting is good not great performances but i like characters that's what i loved about Luke Gross played movie with Danny Trejo in Death Race 2 (2011) Death Race 3 Inferno (2013) witch i loved playing together in Night Crew for 3rd time i liked Luke Gross as lead i had no problems with Luke Gross at all little bit like Jason Statham if it was a bigger budget movie, Danny Trejo playing Cartel Vampire Boss like From Dusk Till Dawn Carlos was in it but not a lot didn't do much in film but he was in some of scenes. ending was something you might not expect but it's still great action movie 10.10 i want to own this movie on blu ray

As far as indie action movies go, this one is definitely worth the time. The plot revolves around a team of bounty hunters protecting their captive from a group of border runners out to retrieve their fugitive for their boss, played by Danny Trejo

If you like guns, explosions, and eye candy to boot, this movie has plenty to offer from beginning to end. There are movies that seem like the action needlessly fades for some uninteresting subplot, but The Night Crew is not one of them. Once the bullets start flying, they only let up to reload for the next sequence.

Luke Goss gives a fine performance in his role as Wade, the leader of the fearless team of bounty hunters. As always, he's as bad-ass as ever, with nary a smile for the audience...and thumbs up go out to the rest of his crew as well, played by Paul Sloan, Bokeem Woodbine, and Luciana Faulhaber.

The Night Crew is Director Christian Sesma's best work to date. The action's intense, the pacing's good, and the scenes were beautifully shot. Overall, well worth the time.
