Sorry, this movie sucks
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I haven't seen this movie since about 2000. From what I remember I was intrigued. It did start out kind of slow and boring, but I stuck it out and enjoyed myself.There was a song being played during one of the scenes that I really liked. I had searched for it off and on over the years and I finally found it. It's Mark Governor / Kathy Fisher - Closes You'll Ever Get.
On paper it looked as hell...Ricky Schröder (automatically you are thinking of "The champ" and "Little lord Fauntleroy", or the childactor that sucked later), a tvmovie and a start that couldn't come any closer to a cliché but still "What we did that night" is a quite intelligent thriller that deserves your attention. The story is about a guy who is released from prison after having served 8 years in prison as he was being accused for committing a murder. What then never came to light was that there were 3 other guys involved who are now leading a perfect family life...and of course the time has come for some revenge... You saw it earlier I know and there are tons of black holes in this movie that makes you think if the director hasn't read his script for a second time but to my great surprise Schröder was acting quite brilliant... Hmmm surprise, surprise....
I was waiting for a cool movie to watch on wednesday night and it proved to be one of the best thriller I've ever seen!!Each actor gives himself entirely to his character.The plot is clever, the end is purely unbelievable (well, that's only an expression because the fact is the screen play is totally credible).The photography and the directing just emphasize the atmosphere of both terror and normal life.The perfect combination for a great thriller!
At first I was disappointed -- I thought it was going to be another take on "I Know What You Did Last Summer." But there was a lot more to it than that...Rick Schroder plays a great bastard, he should get this role more often!
