Format:VHS Tape
A quiet but fairly decent bit of a romance/thriller although why the heroine has to be had in every position but hanging from the chandelier to demonstrate the relationship is kind of lost me. In fact it reminded me of the two puppets in Team America. Still, you can never see too much of Rutger Hauer can you?

The recipe looks easy: a plot that takes you to the straightforward solution and which is made a bit spicy with the addition of some soft erotic scenes. Actually the story is told in a clever way because the detection work made by the civil servant (Richardson) is accurate and shows the faults of the previous inquiry. We are taken into the lives of a mainly white small community, where the ex-convict (Hauer) is still suspected because he's 'white trash'. Even friends and relatives don't like the ex-convict (and maybe this is too much) but this doesn't stop the civil servant and by now lover. Only at the very end we are faced by a new death and by an attempt of detachment from this difficult love. What I love in this film is a line towards the end, when the civil servant is asked why she's keeping the baby (she's of course pregnant from the ex-convict). She answers that amid all that death some life is what matters.
I would recommend this strong thriller for a couple of hours of intrigue and love.

Keeps You Watching From Start To Finish
30 July 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Awesome movie
9 July 2007
Format:DVD
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).
