Midnight
Special 9/10
Tonight
Cam and I went to check out the movie Midnight Special. All I knew
about this movie from the trailer was that Michael Shannon was in it
and some kids eyes glowed. That's it. We headed to the Arclight in
Hollywood because the sometimes at Sundance were wonky. I'm not going
to spoil too much about this movie because the less you know the
better.
Shannon
is a father named Roy who along with Lucas played by Joel Edgerton
are on the run from the law. Roy is on the news with alerts saying
that he kidnapped a young boy. They realize that its time to hoof it
and end up being spotted on the way out. Meanwhile the FBI raid a
church/compound where the missing boy, Alton played by Jaeden
Lieberher, is worshiped as a savior.
There
is so much more I want to say about this movie but I can't without
ruining it and the best thing about this movie was that I had no idea
what was going to happen next or how it'd end. The acting was great
and I can not imagine anyone else playing these roles. I enjoyed the
music, the silent parts, and how so much was said by the characters
facial expressions. There were some unanswered questions but like I
told Cam, I'd rather not know them. This is easily going to make my
list of favorite films at the end of the year. I hope more people get
the opportunity to see this in theaters.
