This movie starts out with a lot of promise, but there are far too many loose ends and inexplicable stories (and videos) that have no real connection to anything. The writers clearly included stories for shock / shlock value which adds to the totally meaningless results. Other than an attractive female lead, there's nothing worth watching here because the characters are as empty as the theaters were when this was released - or escaped. Whoever made this movie has a huge problem with telling a cohesive story and creating real characters rather than genre based caricatures of what he's seen before. Bad movie. caricatures

Ending up solving mysteries between two people risking his own family. The film was based on the book named 'Manhattan Nocturne'. Excellently made film, it's the director's first feature film as well. He did not get the top actors, but these actors were the good ones. Adrien Brody and Yvonne Strahovski were amazing their respective roles. It was not a detective story, but very close to being one. So if you love crime-mysteries, then you should try this. The tone of the film makes very interesting. It's not about the question of story prediction, but how cleverly it was advanced like the characters were transformed compared to the opening and the conclusion. Some films open strongly, but ends poorly. In this case, the opening was average, but ended on a high. The main reason is the middle parts, keeping all contents together and developing some suspense with a couple of quick twists made this film to reach the expectation made by its viewers. It was a tale of a recently famed reporter finds an affair with a young widow, despite he's married with a child. Soon, he discovers some mysterious men are watching him, who threatening his family as well. How he gets out of that trouble by finding reasons behind it is what the rest of the film narrates. It looked a lot like a television film. Not because of the production quality, actually the production was top class, but the story and its narration felt kind of like a mini-series type. I don't know how many books are there, but I want this to continue, at least as a television film series. One of the best of its kind, I almost liked everything about the film. But I still feel I underrated it, at the end I'm satisfied with what I gave. Definitely, I recommend it. 7/10

Manhattan Night wasn't the best I've seen, but it could definitely try a lot to surprise me though. It'd be very recommended to slip this one, but see if you must, but don't expect 75% of the movie to be filled with charm and love.
