Too much of everything

Thanks for the memories!

Admirable film.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The Night Manager is an elegant well acted film, on all levels, drawing us in until its very last moments. Bravo!

I saw this tv series before it got some awards and I was surprised wondering with what it deserves them. I was very disappointed when I was watching it, with everything starting from acting to the way how they made developing of plot. Really sad, more than sad, especially if you have some respect toward actors as are Hugh Lauri or Tom Hiddleston and then after seeing it, you realized you overrated them. Love/passion scenes in it?!!! Come on?!!! It is so ridiculous and unconvincing. As someone gave the title of his/her review in here, it is waste of time.

This is just dross ala Turks and Caicos TV series from a while back. Poor editing , the shallowest of character development and a plot that takes the suspension of reality way beyond that new spiral galaxy they've just found. Huddleston (or whatever his name is) is able to bang every chick he comes into contact with, despite them being arm candy for extremely dangerous characters. He goes from a Hotel Desk Night Manager to a super duper fighting machine in one overnight shift, yet still retains his empathy for an overly cute little English kid (and I can't stand overly cute English kids). Despite the makeover he shows no charisma whatsoever and yet he charms and hoodwinks all of the nasty characters around him with a flat personality and the slimmest of background alibis. Heck even I would have rooted him out! As for the women in this cast, I don't think I've EVER seen such a wholesale casting mistake in anything I've watched. They are, without exception, wooden ,shallow vessels just thrown in as filler for this memoryfoam pillow of a movie. If the feminists want a cause to fire up the troops, then they should go after the casting director and the scriptwriters of this project and have them removed from society.From stem to stern the female acting in this series is nothing short of awful, the only qualification seems to be that most of them were prepared to flash a bit of nudity whenever it wasn't required.Phew ! And I'm only on season one! Should I force myself to endure the subsequent seasons or should I use my common sense and realize there's no hope for redemption? I think you all know the answer, you'll find me watching Jeopardy reruns if you're looking for me. Cheers BillC

Consistently well done episodes and pretty amazing acting kept me watching until the season was over. I won't remember it for long but I also can't think of any huge mistakes it made. A casual viewer pretty much won't notice any mistakes. The movie also intentionally holds back and doesn't make it's characters overreact for no reason. Overall it was a blast to watch but it didn't have that many layers beyond that for me to think about.
