    Ana de Armas gaslights an autistic dude with a hot mom and it's somehow boring as balls.

    🚫32% 2020 list - Click HERE There have been some absolute dumpster-fires thus far in 2020. Most of the clunkers have come in the form of a Horror movie (which is unfortunate), but this time around we have a dramatic crime-centric Thriller. That sounds extremely exciting…

    I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into this, but I loved it! The acting in this was so good, and it really made me emotional. I don’t even have the words to say but.. wow. Kinda disappointed seeing other people put low reviews

    Great performance from Ana de Armas, and Tye Sheridan does a good job too. The rest of the acting is bland, especially Helen Hunt. I don’t think she wanted to be here. There were certain scenes I thought were done quite well, but all the other scenes were just boring. I…

    Puts just enough creep and suspicion into this predicament to stir plenty of conjecture worth hanging around to figure out.

    An interesting under the radar film with an interesting cast. This was a pretty good little thriller which keeps you guessing up until the end. It is a bit of a slow burn, but Tye Sheridan’s performance as a person with Asperger’s Syndrome keeps you engaged throughout.

    5/10 This movie had a lot of potential, but it never really lived up to it. I wasn’t into the romance at all, and it felt like the writers rushed the script instead of taking the time to make it better.

As far as thrillers go, The Night Clerk is a little light on thrills. That said, there are more interesting things going on, which makes the film worth watching.

Sheridan lends his role the necessary nuance it deserves and de Armas imbues hers with a wealth of unspoken pain, but neither effort receives its payoff. The film conversely squanders both instead.

Despite featuring an intriguing set-up and good cast, The Night Clerk offers nothing new to the genre, predictably hitting the same beats, without variation.
