DVD Reviews of Into the Night

DVD Review: "...Maybe you can help me. What's wrong with my life? Why is my wife sleeping with someone else? Why can't I sleep?"
Summary: 3 Stars

"Into the Night" is a very '80s picture with cameos by several behind the lens folks, including its director, John Landis. He plays one of four identically-dressed Iranian bodyguards who are clearly here for comic relief. The soundtrack features three B.B. King tracks (he does the title cut), plus oldies from Marvin Gaye and the 4 Tops.

After directing such box office successes as ANIMAL HOUSE (1978), THE BLUES BROTHERS (1980), AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) and TRADING PLACES (1983), this was a misstep for Landis. It was for him in retrospect the first of a nearly unbroken string of ordinary films that extends to the present.

SYNOPSIS--
Jeff Goldblum is Ed Okin, an aerospace engineer with chronic insomnia who stumbles through his days. Knowing his wife is having an affair may be the cause of restless nights. During one of these, Ed goes for a drive which takes him to L.A. Int'l airport. While Ed aimlessly idles in a parking lot, Michelle Pfeiffer (as Diana), who's being chased by several Middle Easterners, leaps on his vehicle's hood and suddenly Ed's involved in a car chase. Thus begins a danger-filled adventure for both that involves six smuggled gemstones and a pair of rival gangs trying to obtain them.

One action highlight is a wrestling match between a badly wounded Carl Perkins and David Bowie. Both men have knives in one hand while grappling on the floor. A moment of absurdity occurs during a stand-off between heavily armed Feds and a desperate man who holds a knife to Diana's throat. Ed approaches him and starts asking for advice on his life (see our review's title). The result of his queries can only be called the blackest sort of comedy in what is a movie that generally lacks chemistry between its stars and the sparkling dialogue necessary to carry it along during lulls in chaos.
