Night Always Comesarrived on Netflix with little fanfare or promotion, despite its star-studded cast led by Kirby. Based on the reviews, which are split directly down the middle, many consider Kirby’s gripping performance a career-best. However, there’s a muddled balance of social critique, thriller elements, and clichéd plotting that ultimately holds it back from achieving its full potential.
