Past midnight is one of my favorite films with Rutger Hauer. Natasha Richardson, rest her soul gives one of her best preformances in this film. They both did stunning jobs of acting. Rutger plays a man that has went to jail for a murder he claims he never committed. Natasha plays his social worker after he is released. The movie is suspenseful and keeps you guessing from start to finish. Not only is the acting great but the storyline is wonderful. Natasha ends up trying to help Rutger clear himself of the crime but along the way she has hassitations of his innocence and runs into alot of problems along the way. If you have not seen this film it is a must see. I never took my eyes off of the television screen when I first saw it.

I decided to rent this despite the fact that it's an older film because I love Rutger Hauer. The plot has a lot of twists and turns and a surprising ending. This one is definitely easy to overlook but certainly worth seeing if you're a fan of thrillers. Enjoy.

Every week, I used to check the TV GUIDE to see if this movie was playing on WGN, the only place I could find it. I'm glad it is finally available on DVD. It has re-watchability. You think this is a love story. Then you realize it is a drama. Then it seems like a simple love story. Then it is a drama. Perfect editing! It has the same type of tension that SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY had. (That was the Julia Roberts movie where she changed her identity to escape her abusive husband).

This item was purchased as a gift for someone else. This person is a fan of actor, Clancy Brown. The service was accurate and quick. The movie arrived in excellent condition.

I love watching Natasha Richardson, but this is a film with a contrived plot and seems like a knock-off hatchet job. All of the actors have done better work.
