Weathered, but not broken 🚔

I think that Henry Cavill is a beast. You may have already seen my post about how Henry Cavill was the perfect casting for Geralt in The Witcher. I am a fan of this guy and not just because he also is known for being Superman. I haven't really watched a lot of movies or tv shows with Henry Cavill outside of the two I just mentioned, a few more here and there. So when I stumbled upon Night Hunter, I was very curious to see how his performance was.

Henry Cavill plays a badass and exhausted police Lieutenant named Marshall. He is your typical work before a family guy and will do anything to keep the streets safe. He works so much that he practically looks dead tired all of the time. His daughter hardly ever sees him and his ex-wife has forgotten about him. Luckily his work up in the freezing cold location of Minnesota keeps him occupied. This guy is so hard that he can often be found running around without a winter coat, despite there being snow on the ground.

Ben Kingsley's character Cooper is a vigilante of sorts. He used to be a reputable judge, but quit that after losing his family tragically. He now feels as though it is his life mission to stop as many of the child predators as he can. He has a high tech that allows him to easily catfish predators and lure them into a trap.

Eliana Jones basically stars as Cooper's goddaughter named Lara. They are not related by blood, but they are all that each other has. Cooper uses a more than willing Lara as bait for these predators. They use her photos and Cooper does the chatting. Once the men are convinced that she is really interested in them sexually, they get the guys to show up. Let's just say that Cooper knows how to eliminate the problem forever and make these guys pay in a way that a short stint at prison never would.

There is a serial abductor in the area and the police and Cooper and Lara are both trying to solve the mystery. Alexandra Daddario makes an appearance as her female police character named Rachel. This actress has some of the craziest eyes that I have ever seen on a human being. Her blue eyes could pierce through anything, it is almost distracting since she doesn't look real sometimes. Rachel has a hidden past with Marshall, but he's only interested in solving this case. Rachel is a profiler of sorts and interviews subjects.

The main person that is believed to be the adductor of all of the girls is Brendan Fletcher's odd character named Simon. This guy is not all there. The way he is first discovered is confusing. His attitude in the observation room at the station is weird too. The dude reminds me a lot of the multiple personality characters in the movie Split if you have ever seen that one. They are sure that it must be Simon, but a lot of things just do not add up and it is great to watch everyone try to figure this boy out.

Stanley Tucci is hardened a Commissioner Harper. This dude does not play by the rules and simply wants to eradicate bad guys from the streets. He easily gets the most annoyed by Simon and I totally see where he is coming from. Rachel thinks that she is making progress with Simon, but nobody really knows if that is true. Meanwhile, Marshall responds to every possible lead in an instant. Marshall is dead set on saving all of the lost girls since he has a young daughter himself.

I'm leaving a lot out of this blog today because Night Hunter is filled with so many plot twists. I really do not want to spoil this one for you. I was totally blindsided by the way this one ended. You may wonder what will end up happening, but trust me when I say it will all be explained by the end.

I really enjoyed this film and it made me feel more familiar with Henry Cavill as an actor. I don't think that this was his best performance ever, but it was good. I really got a sense of him feeling dead, but continuing to work hard no matter what. I'll leave with you the trailer to see if you think this one may be for you or not.
