Night Hunter (2018)

What this film really needs is a good editor.

[1/10 · 18 December 2021]

I don't know what the original script was like but this film definitely suffered from poor editing. The story at times made zero sense. The jumps between scenes (and possibly days?) were incongruous and the story telling was atrocious. One minute, a cop is blown up in a car bombing, and the next morning his colleagues are cracking jokes? In one scene a cop who's baby has been kidnapped is breaking a suspect out of jail, and literally the next scene is of him running back into a room at the police station where they've just discovered his baby.... How did he know where his baby was? Where did the suspect go? How much time transpired? I don't need my hand held when I watch something, but a sense of time and event order would be super helpful.
