Night Hunter (2018)

  A rare Tyler pick!  Too bad it wasn't very good.  Content Warning:  blood, torture, suicide

A cop (Henry Cavill) teams up with a judge-turned-vigilante (Ben Kingsley) and an FBI profiler (Alexandra Daddario) to track down a killer who has been kidnapping and torturing young women.

This is a lot of noise, a lot of flashing lights, and a very grimy Cavill for no decent payoff.  Worse, it's painfully predictable.  Everyone in it is wasted, maybe especially Minka Kelly who gets maybe four lines of dialogue.  There's no style or originality to any of it and the whole things feels like a bad throwback to the early 00s.  

It's streaming on Amazon but don't do it.  All of these people have much better performances on offer.  Avoid.
