Excellent, Without a doubt!!

best movie i've ever seen.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Night Moves is an examination of three individuals who plot to blow up a dam, in hopes of making a statement about our environment. The build up in tension as the film focuses on the plotting, acquiring of materials up to the moment of action and its immediate aftermath is very well done. It may not be the fastest moving in getting to the point, but that just helps build tension.The area where the movie falters is the second half, where we examine the mental toll what they've done takes on our main characters. This has potential to be very interesting, but it ends up taking far too long. Cutting 10-15 minutes of staring at actors in thought would have made it tighter and overall a better movie.

Three eco-terrorists plot to explode a hydroelectric dam that is adversely affecting the local fish, but carrying on afterwards as if nothing has happened proves impossible for the trio in this deliberately paced thriller. The film does not exactly explore any new or original ideas; living with the guilt of one's criminal actions is an especially common running theme in Woody's filmography and the basic plot of 'Night Moves' is near identical to 'Cassandra's Dream' - but this nevertheless remains an encapsulating experience with the slow pacing an unexpected asset. Some of the best scenes have Jesse Eisenberg simply sitting around and waiting in the aftermath of the eco-terrorism act; his friends and family carry on their daily routines behind him while he poignantly stares into the distance, almost in disbelief at the fact that nobody is coming to lock him up for his crime. Dakota Fanning is equally effective as the token member of the trio who becomes sick with guilt, however, she could have benefited from more screen time. The film may have also fared better with a less open-ended conclusion; as it is, it ends on a note so abrupt that it is absolutely jarring. Generally speaking though, this is a nifty motion picture about impulsive idealists gradually coming to second-think their passionate stances when it is tragically too late to turn back. Jeff Grace graces the film with a perfectly haunting eerie music score and as one might expect from a film with the word 'Night' in the title, all the low-lighting nighttime shots are amazingly atmospheric.

First let me tell you that I was going to give it a 6 or 7 rating because the story was good and the actors also did their job perfectly. But after thinking it over there are too much things that bothered me. First of all the ending, that was the major point for me to drop the ratings. It's not the first time that I watch a movie that isn't unpleasant but that has no decent ending. Why do some directors do that? Can you just not end a movie with a simple explanation or with a real end were you actually know what will happen? I hate movies that just end in the middle of nowhere without an explanation. And that's the main reason why I gave it a lower score. Also the movie is extremely slow. It's not necessarily bad sometimes but in this case I had more then once the feeling that they had to move on a little bit faster. Slightly disappointed in this movie.

(Spoilers). Sat down to watch this semi-dud, "Night Moves" is a plodder and tries to work as a psychological suspense movie. The problem though is there's little to no actual action, not to mention the dialog interest-level in the characters is poor. Perhaps worse than this is the glaring use of non-resolution in the end where we have nothing wrapped up, but even more questions than when the movie began. Some of the earlier scenes were decent leading up to the eco-terrorism, but passed that the last third of the movie dragged awfully. The acting was so-so as was the direction. The cinematography was satisfactory, and dialog OK but uneventful, and certainly not provocative. Not Recommended (5/10)
