Critics Consensus

Night Patrol boasts a killer premise and committed performances, but Ryan Prows' scattershot direction and an overstuffed screenplay undercut its cinematic prowess.

'Night Patrol' is far from perfect, but it’s got a certain something that pulls you in. The bleakness of its worldview is matched by the integrity of its filmmaking and performances.

This dark genre hybrid has a lot of flaws, but none of them are fatal. With “Night Patrol,” Prows drives a stake through the hearts of two familiar landscapes to try a unique idea with ever-prescient themes and a gamely frantic pulse.

The lumbersome conspiracy-building in the front half, paired with flashy visuals and some performances fitting for a crude stoner comedy, make this a bleary experience overall.

Night Patrol is going to make waves with its intended audience: the genre horror fans and the block.

Getting my hands around Night Patrol was a greater struggle than it should be. Prows shows plenty of stylistic moxie as a filmmaker, and I feel better looking forward to his next movie than recommending this one.

Tasteless? What else even registers in this era? But it’s also tasty.
