Paul-271 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.

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 ****

Mr-Fusion INTO THE NIGHT is a surprise disappointment, given John Landis' impressive '80s track record. It just sorta lumbers along from one scene to the next, even with shootouts and bloody corpses contained within. Landis hss a non-speaking role as one of the Iranian bad guys and he milks the role for a few laughs. The fun part is spotting the various director cameos (Don Siegel, Jonathan Demme, Lawrence Kasdan, hey there's Jim Henson on the phone!). But as soon as the shooting stops, we're sitting down with Goldblum and Pfeiffer for ice cream (although it's cool to see the long-gone Ship's coffee shop alive on screen). Goldblum is awesome and I do like the premise; but it's hard not to compare this to AFTER HOURS, which is a much better movie.5/10

Claudio Carvalho In Los Angeles, the insomniac aerospace engineer Ed Okin (Jeff Goldblum) has a boring job and a cold relationship with his wife. One afternoon, Ed leaves his job earlier to rest and discovers that his wife Ellen (Stacey Pickren) is cheating him with her colleague Stan (Carmen Argenziano). During the night, Ed can not sleep and he decides to drive to the airport to kill time. When he parks in the garage of the airport, he sees a beautiful lady, Diana (Michelle Pfeiffer), chased by four Iranians. He helps her and drives away to her place. Sooner he discovers that Diana has smuggled six stones from Iran and now she is chased by the gang of Shaheen Parvici (Irene Papas) and by the dangerous British killer Colin Morris (David Bowie) that works for the French Monsieur Melville (Roger Vadim). Ed Okin has an unforgettable night with Diana."Into the Night" is one of my favorite movies of the 80's. I have just watched this film at least for the sixth time and Michelle Feiffer is stunningly gorgeous. The engaging story is funny and one attraction is to identify the cameo of directors and other personalities, such as David Cronenberg, John Landis, Don Siegel, Jonathan Demme, and Lawrence Kasdan working with names like Vera Miles, Irene Papas, David Bowie and Dan Aykroyd among others. The awesome music of B.B. King gives a touch of class to this wonderful film. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Um Romance Muito Perigoso" ("A Very Dangerous Romance")
