Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

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

mariater A very lavish production like The Night Manager should have done a serious effort and try to go beyond the usual Bondesque hero-vs.-ruthless-baddie and rescue-the-girl story. The beautiful cinematography and the exotic locations don't save the show from sounding so untrue for most of the time. It is a pity that a great actor like Hugh Laurie ends up with such a cliché villain. And Tom Hiddleston's character is particularly unconvincing, I'm afraid, though he tries his best to make it appealing. It would have been a great show in 1965.

jbdet I saw the buzz about this show long before I ever watched it. I wasn't keen on starting a show that was only 1 season long with no follow-up season on the books. I'm glad I took a chance and sided with quality vs quantity. Even if there is never a season 2, Season 1 of The Night Manager stands alone as high quality television well worth the watch. While the stars of the show (Hiddleston & Laurie) do a fine job of acting, it is the supporting characters that steal the show. Elizabeth Debicki as 'Jed', Tom Hollander's 'Corkey', and Tobias Menzies take the show from good to great.A spy thriller of the highest order, The Night Manager shouldn't be skipped10/10

herostratus-690-719695 This short-series is absolute mainstream-garbage! Why? 1. The series has a shallow plot, knit from a mindset-pattern that is easy to see through: "Good" guy «kills» "bad" guy - under the applause of the audience. This is utterly boring and not very realistic - nothing new, no surprises, all in all an excellent sleeping pill.2. The series makes part of overall manipulative mass-media, following basically Hollywood-propaganda-rules: The attentive viewer may easily detect the old revenge-mould or perpetrator-victim-saviour-pattern - which is meanwhile as boring as useless, because it changes nothing. We already live in a world of violence, and we all know that. This series does only perpetuate this, nothing less nothing more. The revenge-and-destroy-logic, by which most western countries operate and function today, is promoted in this series and is responsible for probably most governmental breaking-the-law-in-order-to-do-good-myths. "People don't change", as "House M.D." once put it - at least not as long governments do not respect even their own constitutions. In the case of this shallow series, "the bad guy" is depicted, of course, as "really mean" (kills children, beats wife) and therefore has to be destroyed or killed. But this rule has proved itself as totally useless in fighting violence - which somehow makes this series pointless and superfluous.3. The series represents political mainstream brainwash: That there are evil forces within every government we already know. That there are starry-eyed idealists or brainless do-gooders around, always ready to save the rotten world, is also well-known. So what's the point? Even the main protagonist does not know why he does what he's doing, and maybe this is the best part of this bad series: the successful portrayal of a totally shallow "hero" who has no self at all, who has no motives whatsoever. If he'd say "I" he would have no clue at all what that would mean - an unconscious ant, shambling through live like under drugs. So the end justifies the means? So we are entitled to travel around the world, meet interesting people and kill them? So the empire is allowed to cause "collateral damage" where ever it wants to - it does not matter? No, it does matter! Maybe we could see real changes as soon as such films are no longer produced. Maybe that would be a sign of real change: that nobody would watch such garbage anymore. All in all we really know already (and are fed up with the fact) that governments are the greatest criminals today (and the hidden states and so-called "elites" behind them even more). But the movie wants to make us believe that there are governmental forces that really care - for humanistic reasons even. Untrue. See current destruction of this earth and the ever-ongoing killing of people (best current example: Syria, another land destroyed by the big white west).Summary: Mainstream garbage at it's worst. I only watched it because I liked Hugh Laurie as "HOUSE M.D."! Now I am betrayed of 8 hours of my precious lifetime. Thank you, dear Night-Garbage-Managers.
