Jeff Goldblum plays a man with a boring job, a cheating wife, and insomnia. One night beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer enters his life on the run from trouble of her own. The two have a wild night ahead of them as they run from irate Iranians. That makes more sense than it sounds, trust me. Lots of cameos from directors such as David Cronenberg, Jonathan Demme, and Don Siegel. Also a fun cameo by David Bowie. Goldblum and Pfeiffer are great. A solid comedy from John Landis; good escapist fun. Great soundtrack including the title song from B.B. King. Also worth checking out for a very rare (but brief) Pfeiffer nude scene.

Jeff Goldblum mistook "Into the Night" for a silent; his lack of dialog, quirky gestures and narcoleptic detachment render him absent- not the sole MIA. There's an awkward lack of chemistry between Goldblum and love-interest, Michelle Pfeiffer. This disjointed Landis flop survives on cable for its millisecond glimpse of Pfeiffer, naked. If Landis had devoted time directing rather than decorating this production with idiosyncratic baubles ("Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein") the film might have benefited. Unfortunately, this dog was DOA: a fine score that NEVER fits the film, poor continuity, horrible timing, actors bored by a lame script, a story line that was apparently discovered in the editing room. If David Bowie's cameo was intended as cherry, it topped something otherwise inedible.

This is a film about finding adventure in your life and taking a risk doing it. "Into the Night" unfolds into a string of events from a chance meeting of two people who compliment each other as companions, even if they have different personalities and come from completely different backgrounds.Ed Okin--a bored urbanite with a dead end job and nothing new going on with the day to day, apart from his cheating wife--goes out for a neighborly spin in his car in the middle of the night and finds trouble in all the right places with a blond named Diana on the run from crazy Iranians and other goons looking to get back precious jewels she has. A partnership is made with one, Goldbloom, looking for danger and the other, Pfeiffer, trying to run away from it. This is the type of story that goes with the flow, neither aiming towards a set-in-stone direction, which gives the viewing experience of seeing new complications, characters and locations a spontaneous and unpredictable feel.This is a fun adventure story with mystery, action and some laugh out loud gags. There's candid violence, brief nudity and car chases to get the pulse pumping. This has trendy '80s music, including wild guitar solos and popping bass rhythms that doesn't help the movie step outside of 1985. "Into the Night" is a basic big-budgeter that doesn't serve a major purpose except to maybe sell the audience a this-could-be-you-if-applied-yourself fantasy. It's an entertaining movie to spice up a bored evening and escape with, as anything more and you might be disappointed.

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")
