Description: A voyeuristic
hotel clerk (Tye Sheridan) becomes the subject of a murder investigation.
Review: Tye Sheridan is more and more becoming a name in Hollywood. He already
played the rol of Cyclops in the most recent “X-Men” movies and was the lead in
Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One”. And he is a pretty good actor. In “The
Night Clerk” he had to open a whole new can of emotions, playing a young man
with Asperger.
“The Night Clerk” follows
Bart Bromley, a highly gifted, autistic hotel clerk who works the night shift. During
his work, he uses surveillance cameras to film the guests in order to improve
his social skills. When a woman is murdered during one of his shifts, he soon becomes
a prime suspect. When Andrea checks in at the hotel, Bart thinks he has to find
the real killer, otherwise Andrea might be the next victim.
It's not you typical
whodunit. The film is pretty obvious and never really gets compelling or
exciting. Aside from the great cast and acting, the film doesn’t have a lot to
offer. It becomes very clear who actually killed the woman and how Andrea fits
in to the picture. That’s a shame, since the story and cast could be a whole
lot more than this.
