Nightkill: Meh thriller
Nightkill is a thriller starring the late great industry veteran Robert Mitchum, but it certainly isn't among his best work.
It tells the story of a woman who witnesses her new lover murder her abusive husband and the chain of events that follow. With her lover now missing and the police closing in what does she do next?
Lead by Jaclyn Smith this thriller never really gets going and the twist was more than expected. Though the finale is less predictible and quite enjoyable the rest of the movie is highly generic stuff.
It's certainly not terrible, but it's underwhelming stuff that you'll have seen plenty of times before. Even Mitchum seems bored.
The Good:
Robert Mitchum
The Bad:
Highly generic
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
White wine is for meatballs and cooking
In the 1980's no money was required to get yourself a plane seat reserved
Police officers use racial slurs casually
