This film is downright hypnotic! It seems so simple at first, but is quickly weaved by master indie filmmaker Michael T. Dunn into a visual powerhouse.
You can tell there wasn't much of a budget for this film -- yet I have worn out my VHS tape watching it! Michael Dunn is truely amazing with his quiet portrayal of a young spy. His character seems dedicated, yet his cold natured indifferent makes him the perfect assassin.
Greg Mackie portrayed the young hitman that has targeted Michael Dunn's character for elimination. Mackie's style really parallels Dunn -- If Dunn's character were on the wrong side of the law, it would probably be Mackie's character (alter ego)!?!
Dave Rodriguez seems to be the only weak link in the film. He was obviously hired for his athletic prowess, but he still does an admirable job acting.
Jean-Paul Gibeau steals the show as Mister Johnson. He casts an evil presence in the film that was truely unique. Each minute, Gibeau pushes Dunn's character closer and closer to the impending conflict.
The story behind Midnight Conflict was simple. It was truely the visual presentation that set it apart. The films incredibly diverse use of color actually changes the tone of the film throughout. Its monochromatic splashes of light also haven't been seen since the 1940s (notably film-noir).
Completely Impressed...
