Really enjoyed it
The acting was excellent, in my opinion. The movie was fast-paced, especially in the second half. There was the thrill in almost every scene.But the acting takes the prize home. I loved the female lead's acting. I look forward to more of her work. The male lead (?) of the Squid Game fame really surprised me with not just his acting but the character choice. I hope he goes on to do more such interesting and diverse roles.
The film doesn't really answer the question of why and who and how this person is the way he is but with a movie titled 'Midnight' and the story unfolding in the course of a single night, I thought it was a perfectly reasonable choice.
Looking forward to more such interesting movies.

What a thrill ride this movie was
To be honest I am not one for thriller movies at all, but this movie sure as hell grabbed my attention fully. I saw a video on TikTok that made me want to watch it and I am not disappointed at all.I screamed so loud for nearly half the movie because of stuff I did not expect in the least to happen. My heart was beating a hundred miles an hour because of the suspense in this movie. The main female lead I already love as an actress because of Scarlet Heart and The Secret Life Of My Secretary.
Tonight I will be starting Squid Games because of Wi Ha-Joon. He is an actor I should keep my eyes open for his future work.

Great Movie
Idk what people have against this movie. I saw some people say it's unrealistic that there's no people in the alleys at midnight like there's supposed to be 20 people going on a walk in that narrow alley at midnight. There's people when they get into the busy parts of the city. Also that there's plot holes but imo everything got cleared up and it has a clear ending.It's a great movie overall. We sometimes get scenes where there's 0 sounds, from the perspective of the deaf girl which often adds to the suspense. The police is dumb and really annoying but that shouldn't be a reason to not watch it. You will definitely get frustrated at the stupidity of some characters but honestly I think it was intended to show the problems that deaf people can often face (in an extreme way i know). The acting was also really good and Storyline overall too.

We need to appreciate deaf people
Wow, this movie leaves you no room to breathe! Lol. What I mean is there's action all the time, you're tense all the time! I really loved it.But well, focusing on the story the deaf girl is so smart and so brave!! Even though she can speak and can't hear, she was able to win her freedom together with her mom, the other girl and the girl's brother.
The scene where the murder gets killed was so strong and deep, Wi Ha-joon did an amazing job (i even got scared of him lol)
And when the girl's brother needed to decide to save his sister or the deaf girl...wow i felt him. I would be just like him, in doubt.
But the end was unexpectedly cute! They were all in Jeju island and the girl and her brother even learned how to talk in sign language!
Plus, the scene where the deaf girl was trying to say to the murder that she wanted to stay alive, was so deep...
Oh and the relationship between the deaf girl and her mother was so strong and lovely!!
I would rewatch again with someone for sure

Expect to be frustrated
Its a good intense film, kept me angry the whole entire time. So don't go into this movie expecting any moment to relax, there isn't a single moment of that through the entire film. It was great acting, and very intense, even despite being a simple story. I would say it's worth the watch, and consider this a very good movie. Despite cursing and being frustrated the whole time, it was a good cat and mouse chase. Some things I would of done different if I were being chased, but we all think that, but behave very differently when in a panic.Was this review helpful to you?
Heavy watch
Honestly this movie will leave you extremely exhausted after finishing it. I remember watching this for the first time at night and it only made the experience realer, as if I was the one who was getting chased by a serial killer. It’s good and the actors’ great acting will suck you in on it and make it feel like you’re right there with the victim.Though do beware that in this movie a lot of things happen at once, a lot of violence and emotional scenes. It feels as though you can’t even catch a breath for a moment. Everything happens in one day and it doesn’t let you to experience another day where you feel ease and catch a break- no, it ropes you in and it doesn’t let you go until the end.
So if you’re up for a very exhausting (yet good!) movie, then this is definitely it.

Un très bon film
Ce film coréen nous raconte l'histoire d'une femme sourde poursuivie par un tueur psychopathe. C'est haletant, il y a de l'action, du suspense ; on reste bien accroché jusqu'au bout tellement c'est prenant.Tous les acteurs jouent tous très bien. J'ai trouvé original de mettre quelqu'un avec un handicap pour une histoire comme celle-ci. Les musiques sont sympas mais oubliables. La fin est bien mais il manque un p'tit truc. Sinon, j'ai vraiment bien aimé ce film et je le recommande.

A falta da obrigatoriedade da aprendizagem da linguagem de sinais
Que filme foi esse???Atuação de Jin Kim Joo ( vítima) e Wi Ha Joon( vilão) está impecável assim como todo o elenco não deixou a desejar.
Tratando de um assunto atual e que continua com número crescente a língua de sinais coreana ou língua gestual coreana, ou 한국 수어 é a língua de sinais da Coreia do Sul é a língua de sinais usada pela comunidade surda na Coreia do Sul. Tem origem na língua de sinais japonesa, com a qual mantém muitas similaridades. A protagonista feminina surda entra na mira de um assassino e nesse ritmo dele como uma sede infinita nela que que ocorre todo o cenário do longa metragem entre as ruas estreitas, becos escuros e muita corrida como gato e rato.
A situação agonizante de uma vítima muda que só emite uns ruídos tentando explicar que está sendo perseguida e as pessoas ignorantes em libras não entendendo e de fazer o telespectador roer as unhas inteiras, e com a fato de sua mãe também ser deficiente auditiva complica ainda mas . Um assassino sádico que gosta de brincar enquanto fere suas vítimas, entre a corrida atrás de sua vítima sequestra outra mulher pelo caminho, mas quando enfim vai mata lá e intererrompido.
Uma corrida contra o tempo para se salvar e sua mãe.
O final é surpreendente!

La historia me pareció muy impactante y me gustó mucho que no es de las películas que tienes que esperar a que vayan por la mitad para que comience la acción ya que la acción comienza en el minuto uno. Es una película que te va a tener en alerta todo el tiempo sin saber qué va a pasar a continuación. Otra cosa que me gustó mucho y que también te ayuda a entender a los personajes y a meterte más en la película es que en muchas escenas te anulan el sonido ambiente dado que los personajes principales son sordos. Al anularte el sonido ambiente, eres capaz de entender mejor cómo los personajes principales de la mujer y la hija se están enfrentando a la persecución del asesino.
En cuanto a los personajes, la madre y la hija me gustaron mucho pero la capacidad de manipulación del asesino en serie me dejó alucinada y era algo que no me podía creer.
Sin embargo, esta serie me ha dejado una profunda reflexión sobre las personas sordomudas. Las protagonistas tienen que luchar constantemente durante la persecución con la comunicación con las demás personas que las rodean pero el resto de personas no saben entender el lenguaje de señas, lo único que ayuda a complicar la situación. Por lo tanto, me dejó reflexionando la necesidad que hay de que los sistemas educativos incluyan lengua de signos desde que somos pequeños para poder conseguir una inclusión total.

Frustrante
El asesino fue un hijo de su mamá, pero hubieron tantas cosas tan absurdas, especialmente la parte donde la chica corre entre tanta gente y por el hecho de ser sorda la gente la trate como loca, osea si ves en la calle que alguien esta siendo perseguida, lo natural es pensar que es la víctima, especialmente si ves sangre, no al revés, incluso si no conoces lenguaje de señas, te puedes comunicar con ellos.Was this review helpful to you?
Incrível
Um filme que me deixou com o coração na garganta e prendeu a minha atenção tão bem que quando percebi já estava terminando.Pensa num vilão que você dá vontade de entrar no filme e acabar com ele . Pensou? Pois é, em Midnight é assim.
A polícia sinceramente viu, mais burra impossível, assim como uns civis que sinceramente achei insensíveis demais.
Achei a atuação nota mil, a Jin Ki Joon no papel da vítima surda entregou TUDO e, o Wi Ha Joon que desempenhou o papel de psicopata tão bem... o que só prova sua versatilidade (um bom moço em Squid Game) agora um baita vilão manipulador.
Foi desesperador ver a vítima tentando fugir de um assassino sem poder ouvir nem um mínimo som e ainda se passar de louca quando tenta pedir ajuda.
Quanto a trilha sonora, tiveram momentos que o filme ficava mudo o que deixou ainda mais intenso e momentos em a música me deixava com sensação de estar sendo perseguida também kkk
Pra quem é fã de Thriller, se joga que esse é sucesso
