Editorial Reviews

Trapped in a life he doesn t want. Manipulated by his apparently widowed mother. Denied by his perfect fiancée. Sent on assignment to Mexico City just days before his wedding. Infatuated with a woman south of the border. Abandoned in hostile territory; by a suspiciously gay manager and chased by a gang leader who wants him dead when he witnesses a brutal crime. That s just the beginning of One Long Night , a film about self-discovery and the challenges of being of mixed heritage. One Long Night is the story of RICHARD MACEDO, a simple, conservative, half Mexican-half Caucasian businessman who ends up kidnapped and robbed by FELIX, leader of a gang he has a run-in with at a local nightclub. After witnessing the gang s murder of a storeowner, Richard escapes only to literally fall into the hands of a pair of drag queens which begins an odyssey filled with misadventure, exotic characters and dangerous situations as Richard tries desperately to get back to what he calls civilization.

1.0 out of 5 stars A valiant attempt I suppose, but not on BD, February 12, 2009

This review is from: One Long Night [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Admittedly, I ordered this for the store for two reasons, a low priced BD and Alison Eastwood. Neither proved to be what I had hoped in value. Alison's role was smaller, and the BD quality was one of the worst transfers I have seen.

The story is reminiscent of a low grade B movie involving a man trying to save himself while traveling to our southern neighbor. The whole "during Pete Wilson's regime" plot feels misplaced for what the story is about, but in the end it apparently gains some relevance. That aside, the acting is below average and not enjoyable.

The quality of the BD is horrendous, including volumes of grain and foreign artifact throughout. I played it in the store for a brief spell (on the BD display) but customers thought I had damaged the display or was showing lowdef broadcast, so it was removed in short order. The sound was mixed to 2.0 quality, and was muddled at best.

No special features to list, so overall not a BD recommendation, and a weak B movie reference at that.

This review is from: One Long Night (DVD)

After I read all the blu-ray reviews, I decided that I would try this movie on dvd because I like Jon Seda's body of work as a whole. He plays all kinds of character's and everyone is a little different.

The quality of the dvd was good in some places and lacking clarity in others but as a whole it was okay. What a surprise! The story started out like a drama and ended up like a comedy of errors.

I like to view every movie with no expectations. Then when I do see the movie I usually react to the story and the acting as it happens. I actually found it entertaining although a little slow at times. Sometimes I would find myself laughing out loud at the situations he would get himself into just trying to make it through the night!

In the end I think he learned some valuable lessons and actually found a part of himself that was missing.

This review is from: One Long Night (DVD)

This movie has no script, the acting is flat, uninspired, one-dimensional, cliche-happy, the cinematography is terrible, although I don't think it will matter to many. If you like Paul Rodriguez you could probably stomach this flick but I can't see anyone paying full price for this.
