Survive The Night is a terrible movie almost from start to finish. The acting is not a problem as such but the story is so badly written and unbelievable it resembles badly written fan fiction. Two brothers who are criminals and on their way to Mexico end up in a shootout and one needs medical assistance. They break into a house where a doctor and his family are staying with the parents of the doctor. And from there the movie dissolved into an almost hillarious sequence of events and dialogue.
The story is so bad it's difficult to describe. The doctor is apparently responsible for a death of one of his patients in the big city. Oh, and he has a job practicing in a clinic near to where his parents live because apparently small towns don't care if the doctors have killed patients in the big city. The wounded criminal says that he is bleeding out and almost dead but it takes him about 8-10 hours or so to bleed out even after the doctor says he has been shot in the Femoral Artery. The doctor actually says that he is not a leg doctor and then he also says "or that kind of doctor" when he is being forced to perform surgery. Because hospitals have leg doctors apparently. He also states that his last patient died on the operating table because he stitched when he should have cut or cut when he should have stitched. You would think that he might remember these small details.
The brother who hasn't been shot and is the dumb psychotic criminal threatens the doctor numerous times because they literally had no better dialogue to include in the film. And I mean he continuously repeats his threats as if the doctor has forgotten that his family is at stake. Or it might be the case that who ever wrote this movie thinks they need to remind the audience. The dialogue also gets worse and worse as the movie goes endlessly on and on.
The actions of most of the characters make no sense for most of the film and the scenes are so drawn out and repetitive that they might both make you cringe and laugh at the same time. The protagonists get free, run away and are captured again, then they are wounded and run away and are captured again and again. And of course the process is repeated once again. The wounds that they receive only bother them at certain times though and other than grandma everyone in the family lives through the ordeal and ends up sitting and smiling on the porch.
This was lazily written by someone who tried to stretch out a story that should have been 30 minutes into 1 hour and 30 minutes and they couldn't even do basic medical research into gunshots or their effects. And for the record anyone shot in the Femoral Artery would have bled out within minutes. The criminals make dumb choices to advance the plot and the heroes of the film have numerous chances to run away but they don't and are recaptured repeatedly and then the villain actually gives up on chasing them for a while and continues in the morning...
Avoid this movie at all costs unless you want to watch a really bad movie and write a long review on why this movie should be avoided.
