“Nightkill is a thriller starring the late great industry veteran Robert Mitchum, but it certainly isnu0026#39;t among his best work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt tells the story of a woman who witnesses her new lover murder her abusive husband and the chain of events that follow. With her lover now missing and the police closing in what does she do next?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLead by Jaclyn Smith this thriller never really gets going and the twist was more than expected. Though the finale is less predictible and quite enjoyable the rest of the movie is highly generic stuff.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s certainly not terrible, but itu0026#39;s underwhelming stuff that youu0026#39;ll have seen plenty of times before.
