The Midnight Man (2016)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Good movie but grossly overrated

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Grady (Will Kemp) is a hit man, one with a genetic condition where he doesn't feel pain. I watched the film cold so my initial discovery of this was very entertaining. Unfortunately the manufacturer has made it part of its standard description/spoiler. This would have made a great hit-man film in itself, except they opted to semi-cure him while on assignment. He is attempting to kill people while he is struggling with being able to feel pain and pleasure for the first time in his life.Brinna Kelly plays the required "hot Asian chick" in modern films. She is an EMT.The plot has some continuity issues that most of us will ignore. I would mention them but it would include end point spoilers. There is a cameo by Vinnie Jones which I wish would have lasted longer. Grady has a great sense of humor and his condition is shown as being and asset, which is not really the case, but just go with it, Unfortunately once Grady is "cured" the film's mood and comedy falls off a cliff in spite of the meager attempts at EMT humor with correctly placing a drunk passed out woman in the "recovery position."Worth a rentalGuide: F-word. Hot Asian sex. No nudity.

This film tells the story of a man who cannot feel any pain due to a generic condition. He becomes a successful crime gangster as a result. One day, he is sent to kill four of his own mates, and everything breaks loose."The Midnight Man" is an action film with a twist! It is such an obvious choice for an action film in retrospect, and the idea really works. Why I haven't seen films like this, I do not know. The main guy, Grady, is real tough but he is also sensitive. His relationship with Zan is convincing too. They are both very good, and make the film more enjoyable and convincing. It has a lot of fights and action, but it doesn't appear senselessly violent. I enjoyed watching it.

this movie is the greatest on the topic of gang member's story, has totally new concept, so the rating needs to be above 8, i'll advise people to stop rating low without watching the full movie. the movie has off the hook story , has good script, fresh acting, new mindset and the viewers wants this type of movie in the crime , action, thriller type of movie, which is well served. i'll say it's a must watch for people who are interested in such type of movie topics. also have a bit of time period in kisses & sex in the car(just one adult scene which include all these in a period of 3 minutes approx), but it's OK, i'll say because some viewers wants it and also the storyline is very strong. watch and help increase the rating, because it is one of the best movie of this genre for me! acting is realistic, genuine, bind you for full movie times, plot is never weak, i loved the new concept, and a full package for crime, thriller, fight, action and a bit of mystery puts a high standard to other movies for this category.

The Midnight Man is a reasonable B-Grade action flick.The background story includes some genuine originality too. An assassin who cannot feel pain or sensory pleasures, such as touch. Its a rather different premise, that's turned on its head, with interesting results. The selection of a good cast of seasoned, mostly television based actors really lifts this film. There's a decent amount of moderately funny, mostly gallows humour, on offer from the lead and supporting cast to off set the action scenes. Perhaps the only downside to this film is it does languish somewhat in the middle. There is a discernible loss of the pace which could have been fixed with a more considered storyline and a little more action and less idle chat. All in all, I liked The Midnight Man. Its in no way exceptional but it is watchable and for the most part, entertaining. Six out of ten from me.
