Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

moonspinner55 Married engineer in Los Angeles, stuck in a rut and unable to sleep at night, gets mixed up with a kooky girl willingly being used as a courier for a jewel smuggler; she's got the six priceless emeralds hidden in a jacket, and now the couple is being chased all over the city by international villains. Lively comedy-thriller from director John Landis, who has filled many of the supporting roles with his filmmaker friends (and given himself a plum part as well); nevertheless, his movie loses its bearings whenever it becomes too realistically violent, although leads Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer turn out to be an affable romantic match. The picture is disarming and entertaining most of the way, with Irene Papas giving a magnetic performance as the couple's 'drop', a no-nonsense descendant of Iranian royalty. Pretty funny once you get the idea, however Ron Koslow's screenplay has elements that fail to cohere, such as Goldblum's boring job and unfaithful wife. Making a guest appearance, filmmaker Jonathan Demme, whose "Married to the Mob" in 1988 also starred Pfeiffer, ultimately delivered his own funny/violent movie very similar in tone to this one. **1/2 from ****

witster18 Now here's a film where literally nothing works.. for Jeff Goldblum anyway. It may not be as smart or funny(or as good for that matter) as "After Hours", but John Landis' "Into the Night" is still an entertaining, albeit long-winded affair about a nerd gone rogue, who falls for a manipulative, extremely non-committal, yet undeniably beautiful(make that smokin' hot) Michelle Pfeiffer. Decent music, cool cars, good cast, occasional laughs and undeniable quirkiness.. "ITN" is, ironically, insomnia inducing. The right mood or drink may be in order before hitting play. And know when you do there's no going back. The films harsh tonal shifts are eased when the viewer succumbs to the inevitable continuance of this nonsense. It's a hard film to recommend, for fear of someone taking any of it seriously. The films 2 hr run-time feels like 3, and the extreme violence really doesn't fit at all. It's still interesting and oddly entertaining. I give it a soft-7? Nah, Hard 6.The film effectively plays with the insomnia theme, placing it in the center of plot turns and the climax(is there a climax?), and in some weird way justifying the films length. You may forget your name while watching this, maybe fall asleep only to wake up suddenly, disturbed, press rewind to find where you left off, only to find-out everything you already knew, yet keep watching, wondering if the night will ever end. What have you got to lose?

SnoopyStyle Ed Okin (Jeff Goldblum) struggles with insomnia. His wife cheats and his job is a dead-end. His best friend Herb (Dan Aykroyd) suggests going to Vegas. At LAX, he gets involved with jewel smuggler Diana (Michelle Pfeiffer) on the run from four Iranian gangsters. It's the beginning of two wild nights in the city.This is most memorable for glimpses of a naked Michelle Pfeiffer. She's the engine behind this movie. It's perfectly believable to have her lead him everywhere. Goldblum has a tired insomniac persona and the movie meanders in a good way. It's a bunch of random adventures that don't always go anywhere or end in laughs. The Iranians can't seem to open doors and that's good for a small chuckle. It's a weird nights-out movie and I don't mind spending the time with these two characters.

goldgreen The plot here about a woman (Michelle Pfieffer) who has six emeralds that a bunch of murderous heavies want to get their hands on is pretty silly, but what rescues the film is some brilliant direction from John Landis, and I mean brilliant. It would not surprise me if they study this at film school. He takes every banal scene and adds a touch of comedy, clowning, in-jokes (more cameos of famous people and film directors than you could believe), or just tension. There is not a flat moment in the whole film. The choice of upmarket locations in Los Angeles too is a constant dazzle. Overall this pacing overcomes an average input from the love interest of Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer who do not really gel.
