A Coming of Age Light War Movie hits the Mark!!Review created: 08/11/07

This star studded military movie is high on my list of movies I will keep!! It is not a typical War movie as there is perhaps one or two scenes in it where the rifles are actually shot. The plot in this film comes across as the boys are just playing Army. Most of it takes place in an abandoned German house while the Army boys wait for the German front to come through. A small German post is discovered nearby with the the initial confrontation of a snowball fight and the pursuing attempts at friendly communication. A German segment attempting to resolve things so they can surrender peacefully and eventually to this American Squad to live and go home. Unfortunately not everyone was on board with the plan of the taking of hostages and it doesn't go down peacefully! It is perhaps a coming of age movie casted in a military setting!! I'll Keep it in the DVD format!

This movie is not what I expected. I expected tons of shooting and explosions like most war movies.
This movie is more about telling a story & less about blowing things up.
So many war movies are very short on story

It is a REAL story--unvarnishedReview created: 02/10/08

) Midnight Clear is an excellent movie that defines the reality of war and it's warriors, in a way that many do not want to see.
It is a very humanistic movie with what, for me, was a most unexpected turn of events.
I would like to say for all to see, that if you are going to write a review KINDLY DO NOT give the ending away and feel you have to tell the whole bloody story so that those of us who have not seen a movie yet are allowed to watch with an open mind and form our own unbiased opinions.
Skip the heavy intellectual stuff too because you are only impressing yourself with your brilliant vocabulary and critiques you learned in college. Plain honest speech backed by thought and genuine feelings is always best.
I liked the movie very much and think people would be better off for having seen it.
