Not one solitary surprise is to be had here. You don’t even need to watch it and I bet you will have guessed at least 95% of what happens based on the plot description and your knowledge of other movies.

All Day and a Night
Ashton Sanders (Moonlight) and Jeffrey Wright (Westworld) star in this in this sons-and-fathers crime drama about the cycle of gangster life - and one man's attempt to break the chain. From the co-writer of Black Panther.
Jahkor (Sanders) never wanted to be like his father (Wright), and his father never wanted to see his son in prison. Yet somehow finding themselves together as inmates seemed inevitable. In an unlikely journey of self-discovery, Jakhor explores the dangerous world that unites them, hoping to help his newborn son break a cycle that feels inescapable.

Jahkor's resolve to halt the cycle for his own child provide a moderately affecting conclusion. It's just a long, underpowered journey to get there.

It’s a matter of semantics, but if this is a film that often flubs the little things, it gets the most important detail right.

A weightier alternative to the average Netflix original and while imperfectly realised and scrappily plotted at times, it’s another promising sign that, away from the easy-to-digest content, there’s room on the platform for much much more.

May sound like a hard movie to sell, since it never falsifies gangsta “thrills.” Yet there’s an excitement to seeing this landscape of yearning hunger and cyclic rage treated with neorealist humanity.
