Night Hunter

Rotten Tomatoes didn't like it much and there is talk of a hold-up in the release of this flick. I thought it was pretty good. If you like Silence of the Lambs type flicks and give it a willing suspension of disbelief, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Plenty of star actors, great production value and crazy, crazy script. There are some holes here and there but hey, it was fun. Give it a chance.

Brendan Fletcher's acting is the highlight. Similar like Aamir Khan's from Dhoom 3. The cat n mouse game between the inmate n the cops is thrilling like Law Abiding Citizen. The film is about a person (Fletcher) held in police detention for the abduction n murders of several girls. He is caught with the help of a vigilante (Kingsley), who sterilises pedophiles n rapists. They shud have focused more on the character of Ben Kingsley. The film has shades of Dhoom 3, Primal Fear, Law Abiding Citizen, etc. Alexandra Daddario looked way too beautiful to be a cop/profiler.

It's not a bad thriller, it starts off well, has a decent enough ending, but the middle of the film is somehow slightly confusing. You will need to concentrate, otherwise the narrative will pass you by.

The twist was unexpected, but how many times can that particular twist be used, it's like a get out of jail free card.

Elevated by Henry Cavill, and well supported by Ben Kingsley. Cavill is a hugely charismatic actor, with a very definite presence, I wonder if it would have been as good without him, I doubt it.

It's not a wow, but it's a solid watch. 6/10.

This film tells the story of some police force members who investigates a man who kidnapped and imprisoned many women.

The plot starts off fairly promising, but soon derails into confusion. The characters' actions are poorly explained, and I just don't understand what is happening most fo the time. Then comes a big twist, which makes things even more confusing. One of the final scenes on the ice confuses me even more, and I just have no idea what I just watched. This film is a big disappointment, given the number of famous faces involved.

Gandhi and Superman couldn't save this movie - and they were in it! They just seemed detached and were just going through the motions for the paycheck. Plus, the story wasn't that great to begin with, so I suppose they had to make do with what they were given. The young Canadian actor I'd never heard of before, Brendan Fletcher, did a good job as the weird guy. It reminded me of the first time I saw Ed Norton in his first film, Primal Fear. He was really believable in that movie, so much so that he was even nominated for an Academy Award for it. I really thought Ed Norton was mentally challenged in real life, like Giovanni Ribisi in The Other Sister. This movie is really a '5'. The additional point was for Fletcher.
