Judgment Night: The Ultimate 90s Action Thriller
Ойын-сауық
It’s a story we’ve all heard before. A group of friends stray off the beaten path and end up having to fight for their lives. This has served as the set-up for many classic horror films and thrillers. Back in the early ‘90s, director Stephen Hopkins used it as the set-up for an action movie that has an awesome cast. Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jeremy Piven, and Stephen Dorff play the friends fighting to survive. Denis Leary is the leader of the criminal gang out for their blood. Unfortunately, not a lot of people went to see the movie when it was released… but they did make the soundtrack a hit. The movie is called Judgment Night, and it’s time for it to be Revisited.

How many people went to see the movie because of who was on the soundtrack!
This is such an Underrated Film. Great aesthetic. Fun characters. The rooftop scene with Piven & Leary is brilliant. And of course hands down the Best Soundtrack ever.

I honestly couldn't wait for them to whack Piven, he was a POS.

@@MikeG82 exactly it sounded so freaking real,you can just hear the fear in that scream
Awesome movie. Awesome soundtrack.
This is a totally slept on movie. Dark and tense, with relatable characters.
Saw this sitting on video store shelves for years and never watched it. Watched it on streaming last year and LOVED it. Excellent thriller that absolutely holds up today. Great tension and suspense throughout the movie. Definitely worth watching for anyone.
One my fav movies. I watched this almost weekly as a teen. Never got the credit as a top notch suspense movie it deserved.
Judgement Night and Freejack makes for an excellent rainy day double feature.

My 9 year old son discovered this song a few months ago and has the first verse down cold. He has no clue who Oscar Goldman is or what a Kangol is, but the little dude can deliver. Makes a papa proud.
I loved this movie. I always associate it with Tresspass and Surviving the Game as I watched them all on VHS back in the early 90s. (Also, best soundtrack ever 🤘)

Paired with those films it does make for a brilliant triple feature!

I love Trespass, and don't forget Clockers, CB4, New Jersey Drive, Menace 2 Society etc, the good old days.
A solid action film. I remember seeing on TV in the late 90s and having much fun. I rewatched it during lockdown and still holds up.
Amazing movie. Underrated 90's gem.

Finally someone using the term unrarrated properly. The tension in this movie u felt the fear
ABOUT TIME SOMEONE GAVE THIS MOVIE THE LOVE AND ATTENTION IT DESERVES. GREAT MOVIE AND SOUNDTRACK. GREAT ACTING AND STORY AND DENIS LEARY AS THE VILLIAN IS CHILLING
A hidden gem if there ever was one. The cast, tension, soundtrack. Good stuff
This is one of my favorite early 90s action flicks. I've owned the old VHS tape and watched it several times back in the days.When a remastered Blu-ray came out a few years ago, I snatched it up real fast. If you're a fan of this film, you need to get that disc, the picture and sound quality are top notch.
The soundtrack I was into for years after ! Boo-ya Tribe and Faith no more, still goes on in the gym

"We call these condos down here."
Underrrated morality tale of venturing off the beaten path, knowing who your friends and family are & trial by fire. Jeremy Piven demise was haunting.
Greatest OST of ALL TIME!!!
This movie has one of my all-time favorite dialogue exchanges (just going purely on memory, not having seen this movie in a while)... Denis Leary hands a kid money that literally has blood on it. The kid recoils and goes, "This money has blood on it." And Denis Leary answers, "Ever see money that didn't?" Perfect wording and delivery.
Also thanks to this movie, as a kid I remember learning how to keep my hands warm if I'm in a cold environment. When Cuba Gooding Jr. blows his breath on his hands, and rubs them together. Weird how childhood memories work!!!
This movie is so awesome. Caught it late one night as a kid on HBO. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I try to show it to all my friends who haven't seen it.
One of the best soundtracks of all time! Great movie too! Denis Leary was soaking this villain role up!!
Great flick. Dennis Leary scared the crap out of me.
What an absolutely dope movie. I've been telling anyone who will listen for years to watch this, and no one has seen it. Unbelievable. My best friend and I bought the soundtrack when it dropped and I still have my CD from when I was a kid. Great movie, great soundtrack.
I used to have the CD and vhs. Leary was menacing in this film.
I just watched this one a month or so back. It's been decades since I had seen it, and it still holds up as a decent thriller.
Man dude, I was one of the few who saw it in the theater with my homies. We had a blast and of course Rocked the soundtrack all over '94. Thanks JoBlo for revisiting this classic.
I was 16 when the soundtrack landed. It was a smash hit at my local indie club. I have strong memories of the DJ dropping a judgement night track and all the kids going mad for it.
Just rewatched it last week on Prime, still holds up as a hidden gem 💎
Back.in the day, I rented it from the local grocery store. I liked it but haven't seen it since and don't own a copy.
One of my favorite movies ever in the 90s..
My pops took me to see this in theater as a kid. Loved it then. Love it now.
I was actually fortunate enough to go see this movie in theaters and enjoyed. Part of what makes judgement night so dope is that it works great for the specific 90s era. I like how it plays out like a low key horror movie with a traditional action movie theme as well as the classic normal suburban guy turned brave hero twist to it. There’ll always be hidden gems like these that proves not every quality movie is meant to be a mega blockbuster hit.
Deliverance + Stand by me + The Raid = Judgment Night 😬 Solid flick
I love this movie bein a youngin back when I saw it it was an intense little movie for a kid so it blew me away.. one of my favorites!! Stuck with me ever since I seen it so its a good childhood memory as well!!!!
Its a good movie. I enjoyed it heaps. I remember the family renting it on VHS. Good old days.
This was a great movie, I remember when I saw it when it first came out and then I forgot the damn name of it for like 10 years and finally remembered it and watched it a 2nd and 3rd time. It is one of those movies that you can watch once a year or something and enjoy yourself. I have not seen anyone else do a review of this movie on You Tube, thanks for sharing this video, I hope more people go out and watch this movie after your quick review.
Damn I haven't seen this in YEARS. I remember first watching it as a kid in the 90's when it hit HBO. I really need to go back, and watch it. It definitely feels like a film of it's time, and being an early 90's kid I need to get my nostalgic fix every once in a while. Thanks for spotlighting this underrated gem.
I use to watch this Awesome movie all the time. It was one of my favorites. Thanks for revisiting it.
Emilio Estevez is the man!!!!!
I was just telling a buddy of mine about this movie the other day! I couldn't remember the name so I had to Google Emilio's films. Great damn movie and still holds up today!
This was a great movie with a hell of a cast. Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr, Jeremy Piven, that dude from the Mask 🤣. But Denis Leary was by far the highlight of this movie, he was such an intelligent and menacing villain. Just an excellent movie
I still have the soundtrack on frequent rotation. Especially the Helmet & House of Pain, “Just Another Victim”
Yo I watched this a bunch throughout my teenage years. Rewatched recently. It's still a great flick. This one is super under rated as far as 90s action movies.
Soundtrack was so far ahead of its time, it's insane. Predated the mashup by 25 years. Crazy. Still full of bangers.
This is a straight up classic. Awesome cast too.
OMG! I watched this on TUBI last night. I used to rent it from the video rental place all the time as a kid!
I stumbled across this one night one TV...I freaking loved it 😊
Such an underated film, a favourite of mine, along with Trespass.
One of my favorite movies and soundtracks
This is a 90s classic gem!
Absolutely love this movie! Thanks for the review…first Explicit Content album I ever bought and still love it to this day. 🍻
My friends and I went and saw the movie opening weekend, we loved it and I still have the soundtrack on CD all these years later.
I convinced my friend's little brother that the title track was actually a song about a guy from Belfast called George McKnight.
Saw this recently. Gotta rewatch.
Great film and with a banging soundtrack too.
Loved it when I saw it about 15 years ago and I do feel it deserves a re-watch.
Such a great soundtrack!
Underrated Good Movie!
Very underrated thriller action movie that seriously needs more love.
This movie is free on youtube. I watched it again and it still holds up.
I never see/ hear this movie discussed. Great cast, awesome ride. Hidden gem of the 90s. Denis Leary is freaking terrifying.
Great pick.
It really is a hidden gem of a movie. 👍🏻
This was an awesome film, first saw it on cable back in 2010, and I enjoyed it, and such as knockout cast, Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr, Stephen Dorff, Denis Leary, and Jeremy Piven were all top notch, and the action, humor, drama, and story was great as well, this is definitely on of my all time favorite action movies
I saw it in theaters and was fairly unimpressed. A few yrs later I was working at a video store and took it home one night when I couldn't find anything else and thought it wasn't as bad as I remembered. Watched it again a few yrs later and thought, that was pretty damn good
Just watched this one last week for the first time in 20 years.
Great film, kind of a forgotten classic. They had some great film+soundtrack combos back in the day
This was an underrated movie. Nothing groundbreaking but it was just a highly entertaining thriller that flew under the radar. With a cool soundtrack. I saw it at the theatre and bought it on DVD.
I loved this movie then, and I still love it now!
Truly under rated
No wonder this movie was as good as it it. Some great 90s action people working on it. Tombstone, predator 2, Rambo1, and more.
I saw this dozens of times in the 90s. The setting was so depressing lol and made Chicago scary to teen me! Good one!
I grew up seeing this on HBO a lot as a kid. Made me so scared as a kid bc weekly we’d go into DTLA.
I loved it back then! Great movie!
Back in 2001, my best friend and I were doing a weekend trip in Austin when we got lost one night and ended up in VERY shady part of the city. Like the time this movie took place in (1994), GPS still wasn't a thing yet, so we had to drive around and figure out how to get back to our original route. While driving, my friend made a comment that all we needed was "Denis Leary to suddenly appear wearing a black trench coat and screaming 'no witnesses!'" I remember looking at him and said "did you just make a Judgment Night reference??" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I met Jeremy Piven before he was famous and I only recognized him because he did Judgement Night.
This and Demon Knight, holy fuck those soundtracks... those collaborations.
I love this movie. I've watched it too many times to count.
The soundtrack was so good!
Always loved this movie growing up
Underrated saw it on tv once and thought it was good
I worked in a record store when this album came out and it was huge!. I grabbed a copy because I was a Pearl Jam fan, but the song sucks so I donated my copy to the used bin and I’m sure it sold fast. It wasn’t long after that we received the promo only vinyl copies of NIN - The Downward Spiral and that held me over until Killing Joke’s Pandemonium…. Great memories. My teenage years can literally be recalled through music and movie release dates.
Still one of the best Cuba Gooding Jr movies
Great movie!! Just watched Men at Work as well

Judgement Night is an awesome album with an okay movie
Fantastic movie
Never heard of this film. Found it on Tubi. So it's on the top of my to watch list.
One of the best 90s thrillers. SPOILERS: The look Emilio gives Denis after they shot Jeremy down is probably my favorite acting moment of his.
My favorite thriller
Piven's death scarred me as a kid
I still have my original version of the soundtrack on CD!
imagine that this movie was based in alternative reality of back to the future 2??? mind blown
Very Underrated Movie, definitely a good film to watch with your friends😉
The film is a decent Friday/late night watch, but that soundtrack is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 STILL!
Excellent film and blu ray.
Underrated movie. Listening to this video with headphones there's a distracting music in the background that gets louder every time the narration stops..
