Customer Reviews of Midnight Man (1994)
Jack Higgins Novel Probably Not A Good Idea For Filming. An attempt is made to transfer too large a segment of Jack Higgins' espionage novel to film in this tale of former IRA comrades who find themselves upon opposing sides during a royalty-targeted assassination plan, since the lengthy book is replete with sub-plots, and with a wide range of characters who need cinematic development in order to engage a viewer's concern. One's first impression is that nearly every role is miscast and although some certainly are, it quickly becomes apparent that weak direction by Lawrence Gordon-Clark gives little hope to the players as to what their interpretations might be; a good amount of intensity by the cast seems wasted in scenes that lack signification. Rob Lowe as an IRA hitman should probably have been able to collect some type of Irish lilt during his life, and it is ironic that his rival, played by the charismatic German, Hannes Jaenicke, speaks English with only a slight accent, although he also wants a Hibernian brogue. <

A bit of caution, Jack Higgins fans
When this originally came out on Showtime, I was thrilled, because I thought "Eye of the Storm" (the book this was supposed to be based on) was excellent. This wasn't the story the book told. Given that, however, when I watched it the second time around, I found myself enjoying it. I just put the book out of my mind and took this for what it was, an excellent movie with plenty of action.
Female star takes credit in Midnight Man
A great storyline idea by Jack Higgins. This thriller concentrates on the relationships between the leading characters. This is at its very best when Su Yin (played by Daphne Cheung) illuminates the screen with her presence. This is a must see movie for Miss Cheung's contribution alone. Kenneth Cranham (Respected British stage and TV actor) also makes a valuable contribution to this very watchable film.
