Review of Into the Night (2002) by Naische F — 09 Jun 2009
Uneven dark comedy directed by John Landis starring Jeff Goldblum as a socially inept person (a geek) who discovers that his wife is having an affair and stumbles across a lady (Michelle Pfeiffer) who is on the run from some Persian hitman involving some stolen gems.
This is one of those smart dark comedies that tries just too hard and falls flat in a lot of cases. I was heavily reminded of a similar bomb directed by Martin Scorcesse called 'After Hours' starring Griffin Dune and Linda Fiorentino which was a twisted take of 'Alice in Wonderland' in 1980s New York, with the exception that this feature takes place in Los Angeles.
Many cameos from veteran film directors and comedic actors. The only highlight was a short recurring cameo appearance from David Bowie as a Brit hitman sporting a Walther handgun and a knife.
