This is a story about redemption, or, rather, making things right.
I enjoyed this movie, especially because of the acting.
Two late actors whom I love, Natasha Richardson and Rutger Hauer, make this film worth watching IMO.
A social worker takes the case of a man who went to jail for allegedly killing his pregnant wife (and consequently, her unborn baby) in a horrifying manner. He's out now, looking for a job and trying to improve his life.
A young woman is helping with his reinsertion.
She's immediately interested in the case and she feels that he might be innocent after all. They fall in love very quickly.
What makes this movie interesting is that we don't know who we're dealing with until the very end, hence the suspense.
Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson's late wife, is a very pleasant actress and she's got this loving aura, making her well suited for the role. She even can seem a bit naïve, which works well with the story.
I won't reveal what happens in the end, but my comment can make some people draw (the right) conclusions, so I prefer to say my humble review contains some spoilers, in its own way!
I recommend Past Midnight : good story, tense and well done overall. Good acting.
NB: It might seem a bit outdated though, but I didn't mind at all.
