Review of Midnight Special (2016) by Raisedbywolves — 22 Apr 2016
'If it's not too much to ask, could you punch me in the face?' (Agent Sevier to Lucas the cop)MIDNIGHT SPECIAL is loaded with great actors. Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst,Adam Driver,Sam Shepard and the young boy played by Jaeden Lieberher.
A father has taken his son back from a cult leader and members are sent to bring the boy back. The FBI raids the cult farm and the entire cult is questioned about the boy and his whereabouts. The boy, Alton, wears goggles and is shielded from daylight and the sun as they travel at night and tape cardboard to the motel windows. It is as much a family film as it is a sci-fi/chase film.
