About This Movie

So, 'Nightride' is quite the ride. Shot entirely in one take, it really pulls you into the chaotic world of Budge, who's just a small-time dealer trying to navigate a deal gone terribly sideways. The pacing is relentless; you feel the tension mounting with every passing moment. The atmosphere is gritty, capturing the raw essence of a night that spirals out of control. Stephen Fingleton crafts a tight narrative that speaks volumes about desperation and the choices we make. The performances, especially from the lead, feel authentic and raw, almost like you're eavesdropping on real-life drama. The practical effects keep you grounded, making the stakes feel incredibly high throughout. It’s a unique approach to storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll.
