Combining the tense, psychological investigation of killer classics such as Silence of the Lambs and Zodiac with fast-paced twists, turns and edge-of-your-seat action, Night Hunter is one of this year s darkest and most daring thrillers. On the hunt for an elusive serial rapist and murderer, battle-hardened cop Marshall (Henry Cavill: Man of Steel, Mission Impossible: Fallout) crosses paths with vigilante duo Cooper (Ben Kingsley: Gandhi, Sexy Beast) and Julia (Eliana Jones) as they trap online predators and deliver their own extreme methods of justice. When Julia is kidnapped, Marshall, Cooper and the police hunt down the perpetrator but the psychologically damaged man they capture only deepens the mystery surrounding the killings. Good-cop Rachel (Alexandra Daddario: True Detective) believes the captured killer, who is linked to years of female abductions and murders, is harbouring multiple personalities, one of which may hold answers. But with Marshall taking a harder stance, pressure from the Commissioner (Stanley Tucci: The Hunger Games franchise), and a public out for blood, the plot thickens.

Unexpected
This movie looks like it was meant as a short BBC series like Luther.Overall its a good movie and I was actually surprised by the twist in this one.I expected a twist, but the twist was not the twist I guessed... which is rare.Good movie, not of the re-watchable kind though.

Really great film
This is better than most of the films I have seen at the cinema in the last few months.From the start, it has action, great acting, all the twists and unexpected moments you can imagine crammed into one film, and a great cast. And a good ending.Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Gender violence, human trafficking, domestic abuse and modern slavery are (sadly) real
This story is on occasion as harsh on the viewer as the winter weather is brutal as a backdrop to the drama unfolding on the screen and can therefore alienate some viewers unnecessarily early on. For this reason I have deducted a star. With a stellar and committed cast the pace allows one to absorb the considered nuances of the sometimes uncomfortable yet compelling narrative of this mature, contemporary detective tale. Sir Ben Kingsley and Stanley Tucci are both outstanding in their roles and Marshall is arguably the best performance of Henry Cavill's career.

This was a decent watch
I gave it 5* even though it's only really an 8/10 because it doesn't really deserve either glowing praise or serious criticism.Not ground-breaking in any form and benefits due to that - a simple detective story, well told without obvious flaws. Get some popcorn and enjoy.
