Watch Into the Night For Free

Excellent but underrated film

Admirable film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is an adventure/comedy which works perfectly. Goldblum plays the part of someone strolling around stunned perfectly here and to some extent, in all his parts. The supporting cast is ideal and the concept original. There's a good deal of similarity here between this and the Melanie Griffith vehicle, 'Something Wild' which came out a year after 'Into the Night'. In both cases, everyday men are drawn into an increasingly bizarre circumstance so both are fish out of water movies. I rate this more highly than 'Something Wild' which I enjoy too because the Griffith show changes tone from offbeat bizarre to mean and then does another turn at the very end. This maintains its tone throughout and the wrap up, when Goldblum finds out what it's all about is priceless. I got my copy via Amazon for the cost of a single movie ticket. I view it as well worth the money.

Ed Okin (Jeff Goldblum) is a middle class man with a boring job, a case of insomnia and, to top it all off, he just found out that his wife is cheating on him.This film is a good one simply because of the cast. Goldblum is always a joy, even when he has very little to do as in this film. Michelle Pfeiffer has always been great, as well, and this was really her in her prime (between "Scarface" and "Batman Returns"). All the cameos are fun, if completely unnecessary.Despite this, and even with the great John Landis in charge, there really is not much going on, which makes the movie sort of forgettable. No doubt most people have forgotten and it would not make anyone's "top three" or "top five" Landis films. Would it? Some of it seems to anticipate "The Big Lebowski", but without the quirky humor.

The protagonist of this move (played by Jeff Goldblum) has a problem: He can't sleep! And because of this and an advice of a friend he drives around at night, maybe to go to Las Vegas, but instead he get's to be pulled into a murderous night chase by a mysterious, and beautiful young woman...That's the premise of the this very charming and engaging movie, even though the protagonist is sleepy the whole time and taps into all sorts of weird crap by accident, which is what makes this movie unique.Not to mention the John Landis-typical dry humor, needless nudity and weird cameos which are all over the place. (which sounds negative, but is actually meant to be positive)The sleepy night atmosphere is caught perfectly with the photography of clear streets, and the sound of nothing, most scenes even end with someone who accidentally drops something on the floor because he 's drowsy, it's beautiful.Speaking of beautiful, i'm a big fan of Michelle Pfeiffer, but seeing her at such a young age is incredible for someone like me, who knew her mainly from movies like "What lies beneath", "Batman Returns", or "Stardust". Jeff Goldblum is great as always and fun to watch, because he clearly doesn't quite register what's happening around him, or often doesn't care that much.The plot is engaging and doesn't rely all that much on humor, it's surprisingly downbeat and even bleakly violent at times, which fits the story, but makes for a weird tone.I all in all enjoyed "Into the Night", it's charming, sometimes funny, and the lead characters are great, and most of all, it's unique...

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.
