Quick Review: A moody, painfully sluggish, monotonous and pointless thriller wannabe that totally wastes its terrific cast, apart from Sheridan who steals most of the screen time as the anthropophobic and introvert Bart, "The Night Clerk" starts off as an intriguing murder mystery with a disturbing touch of privacy invasion, but unexpecedly shifts into a pretty dull romance, which ruins the entire tension built quietly until this point, turning the movie into a pretentious bore with zero purpose.

Both the male and female leads were superb. Very talented actors who have huge careers ahead of them. The film was okay. His character was interesting. But the way he filmed guests was a little unbelievable and didn't make sense. But I could ride with that. The story was a gentle run but with nothing of note to remember. I probably wouldn't watch it again but I will be keen to see both the actors in something new. I recommend this film for a relaxed afternoon. Oh, and I think Helen Hunt is in it. Or someone who looks a bit like her.
Agus, I'm glad you enjoyed it for what it was. Helen Hunt was in it? Yeah...barely. :D
