to this day I still cannot believe how many of my boxes The Night Comes For Us (2018) dir. Timo Tjahjanto managed to tick... action by a horror director, homoerotic best friends to enemies who can't bear to destroy each other, hot people covered in blood, lesbians, gory hyperstylised fight choreography, lesbians doing gory hyperstylised fight choreography, Indonesian, specifically and adamantly southeast asian, garrotes, fight scenes in a butcher shop and in a welding factory and brutal use of all the impromptu environmental weapons those settings offer, neon lights, motorcyclist julie estelle in an asymmetric top, gratuitous abimana aryasatya sexy cigarette scene, iko uwais telling joe taslim "I crossed fucking OCEANS for you, man"... why must a movie be good is it not enough for it to look like the inside of my brain
