Approaching Midnight (2013)

Great Film! Modern Day Shaksespeare Like Politics at its Best!

I saw this film at Emagine Theatres the first time, and the second time at the AMC cinema on the west coast. Just bought my DVD with special features and I seriously loved this film. I am a huge fan of NBC's Crowded, so I wanted to see what Mia Serafino starred in before this. Sam Logan Khaleghi (Batman V Superman) and Mia Serafino (Crowded) are the lightning of excellent acting in this film. Stoic, accentuated and pinpointed. A brilliant process of what happens when actors taught in English conservatories are in American films. Approaching Midnight is about an Army veteran Wesley Kent who returns to his small town home to fight the threat of political corruption in the form of Mayor Malverne, who is the father of Aspen Malverne (Jana Kramer) who happens to be Wesley Kent's girlfriend. Lots of drama here and great unfolding of events lead to an overall great move that touches on modern day small town politics beside a grand international chain of events. Jana Kramer (Teen Choice Award winner and Platinum recording artist) is currently on tour with her latest country music album so catching her in this film is your best bet at seeing her return to acting.
