The cast handles the sometimes ludicrous plot shifts with relative equanimity, although Cavill seems like he’s trying way too hard to embrace his role as a conflicted cop and father attempting to protect his teen daughter while pursuing a killer ruthlessly targeting innocent young women.

A great cast including Henry Cavill and Ben Kingsley is wasted in the predictable serial killer thriller Night Hunter. Read full review

The Guardian Leslie Felperin

This is such twaddle it becomes kind of fun, except that there’s an uncomfortable feeling – as with many vigilante movies – that the film is revelling in the sexual violence and covering itself with the fig leaf of justice-seeking. Read full review

Night Hunter is good enough that we can see why a cast of this caliber would sign on and trek to Canada in the winter. There are good scenes, good lines, a couple of good performances. But whatever coherence the players saw on the page was lost in the trip between the shoot on set and the editing bay, from the looks of it. Read full review

The film is so clichéd and scattershot as to make Copycat look like Peeping Tom by comparison. Read full review

Noel Murray

Sep 5, 2019

The biggest mystery in the serial-killer thriller Night Hunter isn’t the identity of a super-predator, or the location of his abductees. The real question here is how such a preposterous compendium of crime movie clichés could attract a heavyweight cast. Read full review

Robert Abele

Oct 2, 2018

As Nomis steps up the pace like a runner losing balance and falling forward, the clichés pile up and plot points fly at us more like insecure stabs at holding our interest than naturally edgy developments. Read full review

Night Hunter is a real edge of your seat thriller, a superb plot written by new Director David Raymond.
The so called critics who are slamming this film are both stupid and blind and must have an agenda

Night Hunter is your typical late night thriller. Everything as been done before and well better, the screenplay just looks like a direct to video from the late '90 but at least the direction was relatively decent. The acting was also more than correct, Brendan Fletcher is really fine andNight Hunter is your typical late night thriller.

It's off to a good start with Cavill and Kingsley right, wrong. The premise is actually very good and it had real potential but the writer(s) have tried too hard to keep the story evolving at an unrealistic pace. The final result is a big pile of contrived nonsense that becomes more absurdIt's off to a good start with Cavill and Kingsley right, wrong. The premise is actually very good and it had real potential but the writer(s) have tried too hard to keep the story evolving at an unrealistic pace. The final result is a big pile of contrived nonsense that becomes more absurd by the scene if not the minute. No matter how good the cast is, they can't save this dog. No doubt the cast regret being involved with Night Hunter and they'll leave it off their resume. I certainly regret watching it.… Expand

Do you remember that time that you were at university and you were up at 3am with the 9am submission deadline getting closer by the second? Words had ceased to look like words, nothing made sense anymore and it had gotten to the point where you just said **** it” and submitted your essay without bothering to proofread it just so you were able to go and get drunk and forget about it? Yeah. That.… Expand
