"The night before" has only two views of Rotten tomatoesNone of them comes from a "top critic". As such, the film has no result of the tomatometer at this point, with one of the views on the website positive and the other negative. Judging by the reactions of the general audience, however, the positive review really had to be negative, given the insensitive performance of the film of certain groups.

Over LetterboxdWhere the film has a 2.8 full rating, users were certainly not too impressed, with one admitting that "Kianu has never been this cute", but eventually describes the film as "a 90-minute racist fire from Damper". Indeed, Reeves seems to have been the only positive thing about the movie about contemporary viewers, with another user noticing: "If Winston didn't play Kianu, I wouldn't tolerate this." That said, others did not even think that Reeves' presence was redeemed by the otherwise terribly troubled approach of the film, with a single -letter user who writes, "racial stereotypes are turned off! Cliche was driving and extremely dating!" Adding, "the poster states that it is from the" lost collection "; Maybe we would have been better if it was never found or, even better, if it was never done (sic) in the first place. "

It is true that almost every non-white character in "The night before" is portrayed as some kind of reproduction, undesirable or criminal, and the "humor" in these scenes is more than a little imperceptible. Case in point: When Reeves' character tries to talk to a black man he encountered, it includes the actor that affects what he obviously sees as the necessary people in a scene that was certain as cruelty in 1988, as it is today.

Then it's not at the best of Reeves. But at least he managed to make a good impression on some viewers, as well as his co-Starvala. In 2024, Lori Laflin appeared on "How rude, Tanertitos!" Podcast (through Hollywood reporter) and looked back on his time working with Reeves, calling him a "wonderful, wonderful man". The actor also recalled some fewer fond memories, revealing that on one occasion, she returned to set aside scenes at the "Center of Los Angeles at night" and someone "was killed on the street where we were just firing". Fortunately, such experiences are long behind Reeves, whose return to "Johnon Vick: Chapter 5" Now it is very expected.
