Review of Into the Night (1985) by Luc L — 24 Oct 2010
John Landis had a lot of great movies in the 70's and 80's and this was one that I never saw until last night but heard everything from it sucks to it being underrated. So an undervalued Landis movie starring one of my faves the Goldblum, what could go wrong? Well the problem is that this feels too much like After Hours and After Hours is the masterpiece while this definitely gets dated by a semi-cheesy 80's soundtrack.
Still Golblum is great as the insomniac who stumbles upon Michelle Pfeiffer and her drama as he is trying to find noctural activities to help with his sleep problem. Cameos galore fill the movie up and there are some hearty laughs with Goldblum on a movie set.
About the greatest selling point that I can attempt to give Into the Night is the idea that David Bowie has a knife fight with Carl Perkins. While not as classic as Coming to America, Trading Places, or even Spies Like Us, Into the Night is worth checking out.
