Film Review: Midnight Special

 

Last week, my family and I finished watching Midnight Special. It's a story about a father and son who are fleeing the government and a group of religious extremists. The boy, Alton, has special powers. The religious cult sees him as a savior, while the government wants to study him. 

I enjoyed this film. The way that it revealed information hooked me, although I wish the pace of it was a bit faster. The group of actors were really talented. It had some suspenseful chase scenes. I do wish they elaborated on the ending a bit more, though.

Overall, I would rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2. Though I would change a few things, the plot was intriguing, the characters were interesting, and the actors were talented.
