Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

melissalovesboudreau-84488 What an incredible joyride of a movie. Approaching Midnight is what good indie films are all about and I was interested in the fact that it was shot in Detroit, a city that has seen a lot of Hollywood productions in the past 10 years and Approaching Midnight takes a very crafting and mesmerizing chance at the locations that the city has to offer on film, In the opening war sequence, I was simply awed at how they pulled this off in the city. To my amazement the same location was used a few years later in Batman v Superman" in the Bruce Wayne dream sequence ... Coincidentally actor Sam Logan Khaleghi also makes a cameo in the superhero franchise. Granted Jana Kramer was in the film for about half the running time as the movie is about solving her disappearance did very well. Her appearance in the movie is similar to The Hangover's Justin Bartha, where he appears at the beginning of the film, the middle a little bit and then at the end.

jessicajaglowski A seriously beautiful film with a such a poignant cast telling a poignant story during a poignant time in modern history.I have been waiting and certainly hope for Jana Kramer and Sam Logan Khaleghi to team up on camera again. This is Jana's best performance and it is because Logan-Khaleghi uplifts her and challenges her in her scenes to become and be the best actress that is within her. Her character in "Approaching Midnight" was much better than her characterization in "Heart of the Country". Aside from that, I want to point out the brilliant cinematography of Carl Ballou known for his work on the upcoming Sam Raimi film "Don't Breathe" starring Stephen Lang (of AVATAR fame). This is also Mia Serafino's best performance to date. I like her on the NBC show "Crowded" but here she really gets to shine with a real character in a real drama. Her scenes with Sam Logan Khaleghi remind me of some classic monologues and dialogues between two characters in independent film that make indie film great. The fun thing about this particular film is that in many ways it doesn't seem like an independent film, but rather a smart and suspenseful drama.

LHamlin77 This was a great independent film hailing from the state of Michigan, it discuss family relationships, friendships amongst soldiers and incredibly showcases the beautiful scenery of Michigan. Jana Kramer is a wonderful actress and did splendid with the rest of her cast.The story is edgy, smart and dives into relateable human emotions and aspects of returning from war. The film is action packed when it needs to be and curves around the corners with excellent aim character development. If you missed it in theatres it is on DVD and I do think its a good buy for those who like good music, good acting and independent film.

ronaldhilliard2 This film was truly superior in it's cinematography, acting and "007" like editing effects. The romance between Staff Sergeant Wesley Kent (Sam Logan Khaleghi), Aspen Malverne (Jana Kramer- TV's "One Tree Hill") was flirtatiously awesome and adding the character of Natalie Church (Michelle Balser) into the mix created an awesome "post-potential" love triangle. If you are a fan of the shaky camera thing (which is in all the Bourne movies) then you may not like this, because thankfully, some indie films like this one have returned to the smooth style of peaceful and horizontal cinematography and camera work, which is accredited to Carl Ballou (the movie's DP, who has done such provoking work as music videos for Eminem and the upcoming Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) Brick Mansion's'. I really thought this was a great movie, There seems to be a reviewer who keeps adding negative spam here, obsessed with the location of the film (the location of the movie is set in a fictional 'All America' village) ... but frankly speaking, I am from Michigan and I support movie's that are made in Michigan, it's a hard task to make a film let alone so many veterans who participated in the making of this picture. Aside from that fact, the film is genuinely good, in every way. The acting is natural and legit, the action sequences are demonstrated and all around positive story. Yes the film is rated MPAA PG, so I agree, families can enjoy without worrying about the action and gunplay being too much for young audiences.
