In moments, _The Night Clerk_ did seem as if it had potential, but by the end, and most especially focusing on the end itself, it's very clear that any potential it may have had was, to put it politely, squandered. There are about three things that happen over the entire runtime of this movie, and all three of them have been done far better, not even "ever", but recently. Like, within the past two years at most. Because doing them better than _The Night Clerk_ is a very, very low bar. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
