The Longest Night Review
The least impressive episode by far. Too much airtime focused on the characters running through hallways and the passageway. There were some good scenes, but nothing to brag about.
This is my first-time seeing Luis Callejo perform. His performance was outstanding. The way he capitalized on every second of his character’s airtime was extraordinary. His evil smirk even gave me the creeps.
The episode added little to the story. Hopefully, the next episode will be better. Less filler would definitely be nice.
The episode deserves a 5. Get more of The Longest Night recaps here. Support Reel Mockery by clicking on the link.
