The actor, once known for portraying both Superman and Geralt from The Witcher, is now unexpectedly garnering acclaim through streaming with a lesser-known action thriller. Despite his enduring popularity among movie enthusiasts due to his performance as the Man of Steel in Zack Snyder’s controversial DC universe, he has swapped his cape for something decidedly more gruff and controversial in another production, which goes by the name of .
Originally unveiled in 2018, “Night Hunter” (or alternatively known as “Nomis”) is a film penned and helmed by David Raymond. In this production, Henry Cavill shares the screen with Ben Kingsley, Alexandra Daddario, and Stanley Tucci. Brendan Fletcher, Minka Kelly, and Nathan Fillion play secondary roles. The story revolves around Cavill’s character, a detective who encounters a vigilante, leading him to ponder whether his traditional methods of justice are sufficient to apprehend psychopathic kidnappers and murderers.
The film “Night Hunter” is rapidly gaining popularity on streaming platform Paramount+, as viewers clamor to watch this intense, albeit imperfect, action-thriller. Currently occupying the #9 position, it trails closely behind hits such as “A Quiet Place Part II”, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”, “Gladiator II” and the top-ranked horror sequel “Smile 2”. For more details about “Night Hunter”, you can find its official synopsis provided below.
A police lieutenant, along with his team and a self-appointed guardian, find themselves entangled in a risky plot connected to a disturbed individual suspected of decades of women’s kidnappings.
‘Night Hunter’ Was Slammed by Critics at the Time
Upon its debut, I found myself watching “Night Hunter” which, unfortunately, was heavily criticized by film critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently holds only 14% rating, while audiences seem to find more entertainment in it but still give it a split 50% on the Popcornmeter. Critics’ consensus goes: “Contrived and clichéd, Night Hunter squanders its talented cast in a futile quest for elusive action-adventure thrills.” However, for Henry Cavill fans like myself, this action thriller delivers, as Cavill brings his A-game portraying a tough detective on the chase.
With his tenure as Superman and Geralt now concluded, Henry Cavill has shifted his focus to new ventures. The actor is involved in a number of intriguing upcoming projects. He will collaborate once more with director Guy Ritchie on the action thriller “In the Gray,” where he will work alongside Eiza González and Jake Gyllenhaal. This film revolves around a duo of extraction specialists. Additionally, Cavill is set to appear in Amazon’s live-action version of the 1980s animated series, “Voltron,” directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. Moreover, he will reprise his role as Sherlock Holmes alongside Millie Bobby Brown, portraying Enola Holmes in the Netflix sequel, “Enola Holmes 3.
Henry Cavill remains attached as the main cast for the eagerly anticipated revival of the Highlander series. Earlier reports confirm that this project is indeed moving forward, transitioning from Lionsgate to Amazon MGM Studios’ United Artists, who now hold exclusive rights to the reboot franchise. The plan is to broaden the scope of the Highlander beyond a single film and possibly develop it into a TV series.
