Midnight Runners

Wow. This one surprised me. I did not go into this movie expecting much, and it turned out to be a blast, and one of the better movies I've seen in a while. The movie starts out as a comedy, then becomes a mystery thriller, and then finally there is action (there is one smaller action scene during the mystery thriller bit as well). There is drama and morals as well. The movie is hilariously funny throughout though, and the chemistry between the two (student) buddy-cop main characters is perfect. It's these last two things that really make the movie stand out, I laughed out loud several times. And even better, something none of the other reviewers have commented on, and so I assume they didn't notice (they probably didn't watch until the end of the credits like I did), the end of the movie credits confirm that there will be a sequel with the words "The Midnight Runners will return" (sounds just like what they say at the end of pretty much every Marvel movie, right? ;-))! That makes me happy, and I will be sure to keep an eye out for the next movie in the series. So anyway, do yourselves a favour and watch this one!

P.S: To the one moron who talked crap about this movie and gave it 2/10 stars...People like you make me lose faith in humanity. -_- *shakes head*

Script is rather standard, jokes are a bit Asian and manga like. But hey, this is a Korean movie! This is not US action flick. This is heart- warming, fun action-drama about the right choices. And doing them just because you believe. Yes, characters lack depth, yes some non-Asian viewers might not like the humour, the child-like faces. The rest will enjoy a story in which doing the right thing is the most important thing. Instead of showing young people how cool is to have money, even by making them from drugs and crime, it's better to show them that happiness can be much more meaningful when it comes from within ourselves. Decent story- check. Nice camera work - check, fun - check, high-morals - check. Enjoyable - check.

Did not except this one to be that good. The story started with a comedy, with two friends bonding over their years in police accademy and proceded with mystery solving after they bomped into a case and finally we've got some action and drama as well. So, midnight runners has everything. The story is really good itself and along with the performances, really helped it achieve the entertainment level it needed to be successful. Overall, worth trying.

A wonderful buddy comedy that boasts not just a great central duo, but also an impressive control of tone, as the chemistry between characters work well. If you are looking for good entertainment, but also crave serious stakes and thus action with real weight to it, this is the film to watch.

I'll keep it short with my review. This movie made me laugh so hard i had tears in my eyes. The chemistry between the two lead actors is amazing, just spot on. The story is very simple and easy to follow. The pace and lenght of the movie is solid. It has action and a bit of drama but the comedy/humour people.. so much fun, and therefore really enjoyable to watch. Just sit down, relax and 'laugh'. What more do you need.
