Predictable
Added 9/16/2009
Ok as action thriller flicks go but it gets tedious as well as predictable about halfway through. The best part is watching Denis Leary - he plays a chilling killer. Check it out if you have nothing better to watch.

An early 90's suspense thriller
Added 9/13/2009
Judgement Night is refreshing to return to after all these years. The film features a great cast and has a plausible story line. Four friends take a motor home to a prize fight only to find themselves stuck in freeway gridlock on the way there. They decide to take a shortcut through the projects, only to find themselves in an industrial wasteland of crime and darkness whose inhabitants threaten their very lives. The film has plenty of action and rolls at a good, adventurous pace, giving the viewer time to see the places these four friends are currently in within their own personal lives, while dealing with the carnage that is in their face in the present. Overall one of the lesser known but better films of it's kind from the early 90's. Denis Leary is excellent as a low tier crime boss and Cuba Gooding Jr's character is brilliant as we see him almost go over the edge.

They really should have called this One Bad Night! or Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
Added 9/10/2009
This is definitely an underated film starring Cuba,Estevez,Piven,the young bad guy from queen of the damned and the man himself, Denis Leary. These guys make the biggest mistake of their lives and take a wrong turn.Literally. It starts out with going to a game in an RV and they decide to get off the freeway, end up in nowheres land right into the hands of the worst thugs you could ever meet. The thugs of course wanted a guy who owed them money, who happened to have walked in front of the RV. Thugs catch up and shoot him and the boys witness it all and become victims of circumstance. The night seemed like it would never end because they were always trying to get away. Definitely definitely not something you want to happen to you! This is scarrier than horror movies. Why? because its reality!

Chicago's Own
Added 2/7/2009
A lot of action movies that came out in the early 90's are remembered for stupid one-liners and explosions. Judgment Night is a movie that doesn't have any of that, sure there is a fire in the movie, okay. One fire. The movie is about a do-or-die situation that tests the bounds of a core group of friends... Who will be the one to make a stand? It's a movie shot in Chicago... Back in the early 90's, it was a different place, which makes this a period piece. Dare I say it?
BOTTOM LINE: This movie is a good time, Dennis Leary has many great moments as the bad guy. If you thought the Cubs/Sox feud was intense, imagine a bunch of North-shore dudes facing off against the grime of Leary's Southsiders! The question you should be asking is... does Cuba cry in this movie like he does in ALL of his movies?... This is the Swingers of action movies.
