Having not heard of this film until deciding on watching. With no expectations or not knowing exactly the type of film it was (not watching any trailers either). Relatively a slow paced story but overall was intrigued with the story and fascinated by the character of Tye Sheridan (a young actor who continues to shine).
The Night Clerk plays out like a mystery but doesn't provide many thrills or suspense as expected. It is more of a drama and occasional romance story.
Ana De Armas plays the love interest and steals her scenes with given not too much but does what she's capable of. Her star power and ranking has most certainly risen within these last few years, and it is great to see as she deserves her success.
Relatively predictable story telling but the ending felt quite rushed and that they could have possibly added about 10-15 minutes more to expand on the story.
This film was less than 90 minutes of run time and it did feel short. It was entertaining for what its worth but there could have been more added.
What we see in the ending was slightly confusing. At first it appears that it was all a dream but then when the male victim was spotted, it was shown to be the same guy whom killed the initial blonde woman.
What was most confusing is in the final scene we see Tye Sheridan at a mall walking around (when it seemed as if he had shot himself- it was off screen where we just heard the gun shot). So apparently he did not shoot/kill himself but shot the gun to get the police to the house and he was somehow able to escape without being noticed.
We then see a scene with Ana de Armas with the guy in the car and the police coming behind them. Overall it was slightly confusing and felt rushed as the recap was shown with flashbacks. Perhaps they could have paced it slower and showed it in a breakdown each step.
Otherwise the film was relatively unique and intriguing all the way through. It's IMDB score is quite low for what the outcome was. Would recommend.
