Lula Cotton-Frapier in The Night of the 12th (2022)

Review by lukk98

The Night of the 12th

3/10

Hamfisted message and poorly written character

So the movie paces well enough until the middle of the second act, where characters start being jerks for no real reason ( or at least reason which is properly shown and justified to the viewer) and insert a hamfisted message about all men being murderers.

Suspects just hide things from the police and act erratically to create mystery and suspence ( which is fine to a certain degree), when they realistically they would just do those things in a normal way.

Main characters act and say things just to create drama amongst themselves when realistically they would just mumble to themselves and carry on with their day.

The movie feels like it has no real purpose other than to tell you that bad things happen sometime, and it's kinda men's fault. ( I'd agree with the message told if there were a bit more substance to it) There is little to examine with more depth than that, as a stone faced investigator chugs along an investigation with no real clues, and no resolution.
