Loudly eating, talking, singing, texting, talking on the phone, etc., etc. have become normal in movie theaters. Here's what you do: get yourself a nice, fairly large high-definition tv and a blu-ray player. Turn the lights down low in your living room and enjoy your own very comfortable private movie theater without the distraction of a hundred idiots surrounding you.
The state trooper Roy shot wasn't killed. As Roy explained, he was wearing a bullet-resistant vest. He was just knocked down and stunned.
Obviously. The boy explained it clearly, and the film showed it. It's hard to see how so many people don't get it.
I paused, rewound, and replayed a few times to try to hear what he and Shannon were saying. Had to turn it way up to hear dialogue, then the action parts started and I was afraid my speakers were going to blow out. Good movie, though.
I agree with your assessment of the actors in foreign films. The same goes for television. Being accustomed to American tv shows that are almost entirely populated by models, I was surprised when I began watching British tv shows and found them to be inhabited by much more real-looking people.
As an American man I would like to tell you that not all Americans or men or American men want "Star Wars" or chases and and fights (although "Midnight Special" offered plenty of those). I like thoughtful movies and romantic movies, and haven't seen any "Star Wars" since 1980. "Midnight Special" was an interesting film that I enjoyed very much.
This entire thread is (for the most part) an excellent example of why IMDB should not have eliminated the message boards.
I understood and enjoyed the movie. I don't understand why some find it boring. Too bad; their loss.
