We watched The Night Clerk last night. It stars Ty Sheridan, who played the main character in Ready Player One. The movie is a little odd, but we went in expecting that. It’s about a guy who has Asbergers Syndrome–a high-functioning type of Autism. He works as a Night Clerk for a Motel chain and has some odd habits, but apparently also some very good tech skills. He likes to hide miniature cameras in the hotel rooms and then watch customers going through their day to day routines, memorizing and recording their habits and conversations.

He seems to do this only as a way to learn everyday conversation and habits, then he emulates them in his day to day life. Ultimately (and as we expected) this ends up getting him into a lot of trouble down the road though. A customer staying in one of the rooms he has cameras in is murdered and he captures it all on video.

It’s a good story, the only complaint we have is that it’s UNFINISHED! The movie just seemed to end in the middle of the story, leaving us with a lot of unanswered questions. Way too many to give us any kind of satisfaction at all. In the end we felt like we wasted a couple hours of our time.
