“Night Hunter” (** out of four) was an unpleasant thriller about a lieutenant (Henry Cavill), his stern boss (Stanley Tucci), and a determined vigilante (Ben Kingsley) who all become embroiled in a web of deception when they apprehend a serial killer (Brendan Fletcher) who is linked to numerous child abductions and murders. Well-made film is made up of spare parts from “The Silence Of The Lambs” and “Seven” but still feels like a hollow retread although it is watchable overall. Kingsley is good as usual but Fletcher is over-the-top and annoying as the killer.
