There was a wave of innovative movie scripts in
the nineties that wanted to offer a different perspective of war insanity and
its futility. „A midnight clear” is one of those attempts, although it may be
considered only half successful.
Intro about the group of American reconnaissance
soldier stranded deep in the Ardennes prior to the Nazi offensive experiencing
eerie provocation from the enemy is certainly the better part of the movie,
playing around with the viewer’s mind.
However, the second part of the movie and its
conclusion fail to materialize that leverage, leaving the script and a solid
cast of young actors (Hawke, K. Dillon, Berg) to hang somewhere in
between.
„A midnight clear” could have been a great war
movie, but it’s only a solid one.
