About This Movie

Rats, or Night Mafia, has this gritty undercurrent that pulls you in. It’s about a guy who comes back to his old stomping grounds only to find it's been taken over by these ruthless mobsters. The pacing has that classic 90s action vibe – a mix of tension and bursts of violence that keeps you engaged. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a raw feel that adds to the film's authenticity. You can tell the performances are coming from a place of real desperation; the lead really sells his fight against the overwhelming odds. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of hopelessness, but there's also this thread of defiance that runs through it. It's not just another action flick; it’s got character.
