While you think of most sci-fi films as full of action and aliens, Midnight Special is thoroughly grounded, relying on captivating characters and a deep mystery to keep you enthralled. Michael Shannon proves, once again, he is one of the best actors out there while the young Jaeden Lieberher is excellent as his son with some interesting powers. It moves slow, but stick with it - even if the end might not quite satisfy all expectations.
