Night for this pair was selected as a good thriller none was seen after Das Experiment. A film quite exciting, which is able to maintain for the duration of a good level of tension, and part of an interesting idea: the opposition to that which has established itself as the 'industry' of justice in which judges, lawyers and investigators are tutti complici per far procedere le cose non secondo principi di giustizia, ma per convenzioni e comodità.
In realtà, questo punto di forza del film è anche la sua debolezza. Il grosso problema che si rileva guardandolo è che la focalizzazione è sul pubblico ministero che combatte perché il sistema rimanga così com'è, mentre l'uomo che si oppone e cerca di scardinare tutto il baraccone passa come il villain della situazione. Ma lo spettatore empatizza naturalmente con il secondo, personaggio ribelle e mosso non solo da motivi di vendetta personale, ma da un più alto spirito rivoluzioanrio (emblematica in questo senso la scena in cui applaude al giudice). L'avvocato which is doing its best to maintain the status quo, even if it acts according to his moral code, in fact protects a system that is revealed as flawed and corrupt. The real hero of the story is then the antagonist, and this leaves us dissatisfied when, inevitably, he is forced to lose his battle. It would have been more interesting (and brave) if what passes as bad finally got his victory, as happens in Seven , where another character driven by revolutionary intent (however questionable) can earn at least in part the sympathies of the viewer .
Another problem is the constant game of tricks and gimmicks to increase planned by villain, that though initially reveal only an engineer passable, after half the film start to appear very credible. In short, it is unlikely that among all the people suffering in the house raid and the murder of his family were caught this evil genius, a Michael Scofield that you voluntarily imprisoned in order to carry out his plan with the best alibis. Okay who has had ten years to organize its revenge, but an entire system of tunnels dug by him personally seems too much. Ultimately, a film intense, moving from a good idea but is lost on the road to landing a final feel-good and too conventional. Oh, what would have been nice to see that explode cello ...
