Make no mistake, The Night Clerk is not a groundbreaking film. There aren't loud explosions or jump scares or gory violence people overusing profanity to try and force the characters on you. In other words, you can put this on for just about anybody and they won't be screaming for you to turn it off. Of course, if you need all those things to be entertained you will be extremely bored watching this. The film centers around our main character and the entire plot builds around him. I won't go into any details because you can read the synopsis. I though the 2 lead actors did a great job. There were some issues with pacing in the mid to second half of the movie and pretty much all the other actors were either passable (detective) or useless (mother, husband, shift change guy). All in all though the ending was satisfying for what you started. Again, this will not win many awards. But it's a decent family friendly or date night movie that kept my wife and I entertained.
