Critic Reviews

A string of unlikely events and coincidences set off Night Falls, and Lumet makes them believable the old-fashioned way: through interaction with a screen full of strongly drawn, fully dimensioned, psychologically valid characters.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Lumet (who also wrote the script) seems to feed on lousy cop-precinct furniture, political showboating and confrontations between street-savvy adversaries played by synergic actors. [16May1997 Pg.01.D]Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

This movie is knowledgeable about the city and the people who make accommodations with it.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

One of the most refreshing things about this movie is the manner in which it combines genres in unexpected ways.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

Lumet never tires of exploring moral quandaries. But what separates his films from the pack is his appreciation for all perspectives.Full Review
