When two strangers stumble into international intrigue in the middle of a Los Angeles night, anything can happen…and does, in this zany comedy directed by John Landis. Ed Orkin (Jeff Goldblum) is an insomniac with a cheating wife and a dull job. His chances for excitement look hopeless until a mysterious blond named Diana (Michelle Pfeiffer) drops onto the hood of his car. Now it's Ed's turn for some adventure and romance as Diana leads him on a merry and murderous chase where the payoff could be dollars or death. The outstanding cast includes David Bowie, Vera Miles, Dan Aykroyd and a host of Hollywood's hottest directors in cameos. It's a night on the town you'll never live down.

Critics Consensus: Despite its two stellar leads, Into the Night finds director John Landis indulging in far too many gimmicks in lieu of a well-rounded story.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

There are a couple of jarring sequences that feel tonally wrong, but, overall, Landis and scripter Ron Koslow keep the picture sure-footed and fleet-footed.

"Into the Night" features cameo appearances by 11 directors, none of whom had the sense to get behind the camera and help the 12th, John Landis.

Goldblum, who usually elevates any material, seems asleep at the wheel in a role where his character does virtually nothing but drive Michelle Pfeiffer around wherever she asks him to.

Because of all the cameos and in-jokes, this gimmicky weightless film should appeal to mostly film buffs.

TV Guide

The tone, despite the frequent bloodletting, is light, and the film works better than the script would indicate.
