Driving by their deep will of survival, an American Intelligence Squad, who find a German platoon stranded in the forest, who make their mind to corporate to survive and celebrate Christmas.
A Midnight Clear is a beautifully written, directed and acted movie, but it is so gut-wrenching, so taut, that it is more catharsis than entertainment.
Despite such peculiarities, or perhaps because of them, A Midnight Clear has a quirky, haunting quality, delivering good performances all around, but especially from Sinise, Hawke and Frank Whaley.
It's so determined to be haunting that it gives up the ghost.
